5 kickstarter campaigns worth supporting

i am a big fan of supporting start-ups & creatives who have incredible ideas to make the world better.

today, i have 5 kickstarter campaigns that need your help!

1) the nourishmat ; a really awesome home gardening project GMO-free seed balls that you plant into a mat. this is such a clever idea! one more reason why i cant wait to have my own garden!

ends july 31st // donate here 

2) yes yes yes!!! 100% film. made in the usa. a documentary!
this is a film about the importance of value & conservation of supporting small farms & businesses. on their page, you can watch a 3 min video ; i suggest you do!
ends TOMORROW // donate here.

3) cutest book idea ever! thunder & lightning ; a story for a stormy night!
seriously, adorable! a story about thunder & lightning ; they were friends that moved away from eachother. so, when they get together, they create a storm of fun.
ends july 5th // donate here.

4) central identity mural project. this project is based here in minneapolis ; the location is actually not too far from our place. i have passed the school quite a few times on my bike! they are looking to raise money to create a huge & beautiful mural on the side of the school. i think having children & local artists participate in projects like this is so powerful! such a great way to create ownership over a space!
ends just 12th // donate here.

5) the people's garden project in louisville, ky! i am such a huge fan of supporting organizations creating 'food change' in this country! louisville is doing great things in food // bike // sustainability culture. i really think they will become the 'portland or minneapolis' of the south in regards to being progressive. this project would create two massive greenhouses to help serve people in louisville.

i love it. blake & i have donated to lots of campaigns ; most of which have gotten funded.
ive got 5 awesome projects that are looking for YOUR help!

1) the yogo mat! the worlds smallest, lightest, cleanest full-size yoga mat. folds up the size of a wine bottle [love this!] it can be recycled, will biodegrade AND its made in the US [in oregon]. i am donating to this one, for sure. i love the idea of being able to toss this mat in my bike bag on the way to class!

ends march 15th // donate here

2) the garden creamery is a vegan food truck based in san francisco. they are looking for funding to be able to sell // create vegan soft serve!! four flavors at once! hello, vegan soft serve...

ends march 16th // donate here

3) the grow jar! its a small, hydroponic indoor planter. with your funding, you will get a planter, soil, seeds & everything you need to grow herbs & veggies at home! i love this for people [like us!] that are in apartments, with no outdoor space to grow. also, we are CSA members, so we dont need a huge garden, but having fresh herbs available is so awesome!

ends march 19th // donate here

4) enlightened clothing! they are taking plastic bottles that have been thrown away & turning them into awesome & comfy yoga tops & bottoms. check out the video. this is another one that i really believe in!

ends march 29th // donate here

5) yay! this one is my favorite!! revive the hive with beez kneez honey! kristy & erin live here in the minneapolis & they are doing amazing things with the bee population. they have 'host honey sites' all over the cities. actually, the school that blake is at, they have a hive there. kristy sells her honey at markets, online & in a few shops & co-ops. the awesome thing? she delivers everything by bike [swoon. dream job.] they are looking to raise money to create a honey house, a type of 'home base' for their operation. check out there page & video and get ready to be inspired!
