I have recently been working with YES Inc. (Youth Education and Sustainability) and the YouthTrade project, which supports entrepreneurs under the age of 35.

YES, partnering with the Conscious Capitalism Institute and such companies as Whole Foods, are working very hard to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit that has defined The United States–from day one.

In a world where we are hearing a great deal about things falling apart, it has really been exciting to be part of an organization that is focussed on building a robust and responsible future.

As you prepare your holiday gift list, please take a look at the e-commerce website of one of the young entrepreneurs responsible for moving YouthTrade forward.

Heatherjean MacNeil's ethical fashion company, Proxy Apparel features some very interesting pieces–each accompanied by an extremely wonderful story and a positive impact on the world.

I know that you will find some very interesting items for the creative and outside-the-box thinkers on your holiday list.

Oh, please pass this along to those who you feel might be interested.
