The Latest From the Sea Suite

Show Me the Green (I'm Talking Kelp!)

Despite Economy, Americans Remain Committed to the Social Good

Apparently a struggling economy and volatile stock market aren’t taking a toll on Americans’ inclination to do good works. Four out of five Americans who give to charity say they will donate as much if not more this year than in 2008, 59% of us perform a “random act of kindness” at least weekly, and 95% of Americans believe it’s critical to teach children the importance of giving back, according to the results of the second Tiller Social Action Survey, released here today by Tiller, LLC, a leadi… Continue

Growing Demand On Green Janitorial Certification

For those of you in the janitorial world, you probably know the name Green Clean Institute. If you don’t know who the Green Clean Institute is then you should get familiar with them because they are the largest Green Janitorial Certification Firm in the Nation. Green Clean Institute Certified™ is also a federal trademark. This proves our commitment to the project because getting a federal trademark is costly and time consuming. Most firms handing out meaningless Green Clean certified awards are… Continue

Latest From the Sea Suite: New Year, New Opportunities

I've been a bit remiss the past few months in attending to The Sea Suite. My missing persons work, combined with family and job responsibilities and more than a bit of emotional turmoil in the second half of 2009, forced some important choices -- and also provided some much-needed motivation.

Through it all, I have been having conversations with activists, scientists and entrepreneurs and have come away more convinced than ever tha… Continue
