    Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy

    Planet Good Radio

    Date / Time:

    Category: Business

    Call-in Number: (646) 929-0669


    In their book, Peter G. Brown and Geoffrey Garver use the core Quaker principle of "right relationship"--respecting the integrity, resilience, and beauty of human and natural communities--as the foundation for a new economic model. Right Relationship poses five basic questions: What is an economy for? How does it work? How big is too big? What's fair? And how can it best be governed? Brown and Garver expose the antiquated, shortsighted, and downright dangerous assumptions that underlie our current answers to these questions, as well as the shortcomings of many reform efforts. They propose new answers that combine an acute awareness of ecological limits with a fundamental focus on fairness and a concern with the spiritual, as well as material, well-being of the human race. And they outline what each of us can do to enable life's commonwealth.

    Gypsies, Tea and Conscious Capitalism

    Planet Good Radio

    Date / Time:

    Category: Business


    This week, Zhena is here to talk about her success with her sustainable award winning brand of pure organic tea that has turned into the fastest growing company on the gold coast: Zhena’s Gypsy Tea. In 2000, Zhena’s son Sage was born with a severe health defect. Barely making ends meet, and with no health insurance to cover Sage’s mounting medical costs, Zhena was faced with a serious challenge. Determined to earn the income necessary to support the needs of her son she used her degree in aromatherapy, love of tea and a small collection of money from friends and family to produce and start selling tea out of a cart on California street corners. Believing that selling her tins of tea could alter fate, Zhena became a purveyor of hope and the founder of Gypsy Tea. Today Sage is a healthy, energetic boy and the company has become more than just a product. Zhena’s Gypsy Tea doesn’t just market products, it markets meaning. These teas are made with a commitment to social responsibility, sustainability and the well-being of others. Apart from dedicating her company to blending her teas with the finest, highest grade of natural oils, herbs, fruits, and organic leaves, Zhena has committed her company to green practices. These include focusing on how the ingredients in her products are grown, the re-usable packaging that is used, even the tea bags play a role in promoting social good.

    Divinely Successful: Fair Trade Chocolate as Social Enterprise

    Join us this Thursday on Planet Good Radio for a really sweet treat: Chocolate! That’s right – we’ll be speaking with Erin Gorman, the CEO of Divine Chocolate, a pioneering social enterprise co-owned by the farmers of Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana. The success of Divine means that farmers have a secure source of Fair Trade income that continues to grow year on year. Kuapa Kokoo has invested its Fair Trade income in building schools, sinking wells for clean drinking water to villages, providing mobile medical clinics for farmers in remote growing regions, and fostering women’s income generation projects to help women earn additional income for their families when the cocoa season is over. The farmers’ ownership stake in Divine Chocolate means that Kuapa Kokoo has a meaningful input into decisions about how Divine is produced and sold. In addition, Kuapa Kokoo receives a share in the profits from their ownership shares and in 2007 celebrated the first distribution of dividends from Divine in the UK. The farmers of Kuapa Kokoo own one-third of Divine Chocolate in the US. Additional investment is provided by Divine Chocolate Ltd. in the UK, Lutheran World Relief, Oikocredit, and SERRV International.
