Fair trade, sustainability, recycled materials, mindful consumption, and environmental awareness are all in a days work at Be Good Designs. Crafting fine leather goods using material that would end up as trash is the angle this company is taking all the way to the bank.

Be Good Designs emphasizes that “We don’t have to eliminate the products and luxuries that are part of our lifestyles, we have to seek alternatives that satisfy our needs in a healthy and ecologically sounds manner and enjoy a lifestyle in harmony with the Earth.”

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.
