The Other Koch Brother
In the shadow of his brothers’ Tea Party fame, Bill Koch seems almost like a normal billionaire.

Two mansions, two miles apart, spark intrigue in Palm Beach, Florida. The first, on the northern end of the oceanfront street nicknamed Billionaire’s Row, is 30,000 square feet of arched windows and red, Spanish-tile roof, a villa that includes a ballroom where flappers danced and sipped moonshine in the 1920s.

Center for a New American Dream

We seek to cultivate a new American dream—one that emphasizes community, ecological sustainability, and a celebration of non-material values

http://www.newdream.org/

The Center for a New American Dream helps Americans to reduce and shift their consumption to improve quality of life, protect the environment, and promote social justice.

Since its founding in 1997, New Dream has raised awareness of the negative impact of a hyper-consumer culture. Our focus on the connections between consumption, quality of life, and the environment has made New Dream unique among environmental and progressive groups.

Growing Health 2012 – Cultivating Common Ground: Farms, Food & Health

http://growinghealth.rhnscny.org/home
http://growinghealth.rhnscny.org/about

The first Growing Health event was held in 2006 and since then has been held every two years. While the question “What do farms, food and health have in common?” was somewhat novel at that time, a community of practice has been evolving to consider how these relationships can be strengthened to help realize a triple bottom line of economic (viable farms and rural economies, living wages for farm & food system workers), environmental (sustainable & regenerative agricultural and food system practices), and social (health, community, etc.) benefits.
