Vote for Woollys!

Have y’all seen those commercials for the Pepsi Refresh Project? It’s a pretty sweet concept… if you have an idea for a way to make a positive change in your community, you submit it to Pepsi and then collect as many votes as you can. The two ideas with the most votes get $250,000 to turn those ideas into reality! Well, our buddy Miguel Nelson had this awesome idea to create thousands of edible gardens at schools all over the country. Using his Woolly Pockets, soil, and organic seeds, Miguel has already set up quite a few gardens at local schools here in L.A. There’s even a full curriculum so the students can learn about gardening and healthy eating as they watch their fruits and vegetables grow!
Even though our Woolly Pocket isn’t holding lettuce or strawberries, it sure does make our cramped little bathroom a bit more pleasant. You can see the original installation here, and the upgrade here. We LOVE our Woolly and we think it would be awesome if kids all over the country got Woolly Gardens for their schools! If you think it’s a cool idea too, please click here and vote! You can also click here to learn more about Woolly School Gardens and how they work.
