one of the best parts of owning an ethical fashion company is meeting other awesome people with ethical fashion companies! today i met Rachel of @theponybabe — when I first started talking to Rachel, she was in the early stages of starting her company but I was SO excited about it because we both use all organic + eco friendly materials and produce ethically in NYC 🙌 it’s cool, especially on #fashionrevolutionday to meet another brand that’s doing it right! demand transparency and ask #whomademyclothes and join the #fashionrevolution ! @fash_rev #ecofashion #ethicalfashion #veganfashion #madeinNYC #sweatshopfree #ethicallymade #sustainablefashion #miakodanewyork #ponybabe (at Brooklyn, New York)

A mother red-crowned crane feeds its hatchling in China. The second-rarest crane species in the world, red-crowned cranes breed in Siberia and Mongolia in the spring and summer before migrating across East Asia. Birds are indicators of the health and integrity of their environments, and migratory birds can serve as bellwethers for vast swathes of marine and land habitat. There has never been a more urgent time than now to support migratory birds and protect their critical stop-off points from development. ––photo by Pan Song Yi #savenature #crane #migratorybirds #bird #instabird #china #wildlife #livenature #firstdayofspring

All-California, All-Best Choice Seafood at the Ocean Day California Reception

On Tuesday, March 14, the Monterey Bay Aquarium hosted its eighth annual Ocean Day California reception in Sacramento. The event gathers the state’s top ocean advocates—including California assemblymembers and senators, other government officials, and representatives of conservation organizations—to celebrate the state’s leadership in protecting our ocean.  

During the event, our Executive Director, Julie Packard, presented the Aquarium’s 2017 California Ocean Champion award to former Senator Fran Pavley—and Secretary of State Alex Padilla honored Julie for her lifelong dedication to ocean conservation.

While awards and hobnobbing are nice, we know the food is the real star. Reception attendees enjoyed an array of delicious and sustainable dishes. This year marked the first time all of the event’s seafood was both Best Choice-rated and sourced from California. Check out the spread.
