New Idea...

I love this concept...if you have never heard of it give it a "look see"! I want to buy a few pairs just to support them...not sure if I would keep them to wear (just not my thing) but then again I am game for anything new!

With that in mind I love this fellas mission statement:

One for One

TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about.

Combining this mission statement and about 3 hours of good conversation with a great friend and someone who really is way smarter than me...I feel challenged! I want to come up with some thing that will help a little more than what I have. Don't really know how long it will take don't really care just want to start pushing myself beyond (not to sure what that means).

Here is an idea to run with...did you know that 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to clean drinking water and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation...how about a "one for one" idea with bottled water?

How would that work?
What would be the drawbacks?
What would be the positives...despite the obvious one!
What would need to happen for it to get rolling?

Is anyone brave enough to try...not sure that someone isnt already doing this...is anyone brave enough to fail and move on?
