This week we tackle the issue of helping a coworker lead a more conscious lifestyle. Dear Sex and the Woods, I’ve got this pretty cool co-worker. He’s fun around the office, ultra reliable and competent (unlike pretty much everyone else I work with). However he just doesn’t get the whole I-should-care-about-the-environment thing.

The Age of Stupid is the new four-year epic from McLibel director Franny Armstrong. Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in
Here at Wend we’ve known for a long time that there’s no better combination than beer and bikes, so it makes total sense to combine the two into one sustainable and fun contraption. Enter the new Hopworksfiets, a Portland built cargo bike that holds two kegs below an inlaid wood… Read the rest

Some of the Wend crew will be taking part in the popular Down the River Cleanup this Sunday, which got us thinking about other river cleanups around the country. There’s nothing better than spending a day on the river AND doing something to keep it nice and clean so other… Read the rest
