This Week In GOOD

  • Posted by: GOOD

Technically, this happened last week, but we have to recognize it. The picture above is from an event organized by Carrotmob. Essentially, organizers rounded up as many people as possible to swing by a local corner store and buy out its entire inventory–to raise money for the store’s efforts to become more environmentally friendly and find a way to give food to people who need it. It was a huge success and a source of inspiration for us over at GOOD. If you want to learn more, click here.

This very foolish week, billboards got assaulted and animals were made of air. There was optimism, a memo about torture, and some terrorist social networking. Fifth graders were smart. Jenny McCarthy wasn’t. And John Kilduff was mind-blowing.

If you’re in Los Angeles this weekend, or any time in the next month, check out this Blek le Rat installation. We’re probably going to take a peek tomorrow—if we can even move after watching the Final Four, that is.

Also, lest we forget, take a moment to think about MLK this weekend. Peace.
