We met with Margo, president of Chelsea Green, in Vermont before we started our trip. I’m currently reading An Unreasonable Woman, which they published, and so far I can’t put it down!
This video starts to get into the nitty gritty of some of the questions that have been coming through your comments. I encourage anyone with questions of suggestions to send them our way. The feedback and ideas we receive really help shape this project.
We are currently in Seattle, editing and catching our breath from the long haul through the midwest.

i really liked how y’all broke up this interview with walking shots. though it was all an interview, it felt like more than that, and i thought that was really effective and well done. hell i’m even too lazy to do that! nice work gals. i’ll definately check out some of their books! do you know if they were printing on any of those polymer books like Cradle 2 Cradle was printed on? probably not. but what other practices do they have in place in their printing facilities that are ‘green’? do they use soy based inks, and if so what does that mean? (are soy inks even considered green?) do they have water recycling or reclaiming or whatever you might call it?
nice one!
i am internet retarded this morning (5 am in India). here is a great article by the woman you interviewed, Margo Baldwin, entitled Zero Waste Publishing. It answers some of those questions i just asked….

I love what you girls are doing, and think that you could enhance your videos by putting more of ‘yourselves’ in them. I would like to see how you change, how your interviews and this trip is affecting your worldview.
Presenting this publishing company is a good, unique angle on sustainability. One that did not immediately spring to mind. The branching out to other areas is good as it shows the depth of the problem and that not every solution involves living in a cave and farming.
