One bags become the latest fashion accessory.....part 3
OK, now this is getting out of hand.....
A few of us when out for a beer with Bill Clinton last night at The Dorchester in London. It was definitely one of those slightly star-struck moments when I got to chat to him (he's a really nice chap), but what amazed me even more is that all the guests were given a One bags to take home......
It was the funniest thing to see all these guests wandering around around with them - I've never seen so many bags in one place at one time. Amazing. Really amazing.
It's such a simple thing and it's only a bag, but the fact that that bag will a fund a free clean fund water supply for 50 kids is brilliant.
One bags rock my world.
About the Author
Hi there, I'm Duncan Goose the founder of Global Ethics, the company behind the One brand and I'm really delighted that occasionally I get to jot down a few thoughts here on our blog. My background is in marketing but the catalyst for creating Global Ethics happened as a result of a two year motorbike trip around the world between '98 and 2000.
It was an amazing odyssey and I was fortunate to have people all over the world take me under their wing when it went wrong - as it sometimes did. I learnt a lot about humanity and about the kindness of strangers.
When I left, I knew 3 neighbours in my street in London, and having just moved in London again, I've made a point of getting to know all of them. I often say that if you knew a neighbour in your street was starving, or dying of HIV, you'd do something to help them and this is kind of what One has started to do - abeit on a global scale. We're all neighbours, but sometimes we just don't realise it.
We're changing lives, one person, one day at a time. It's a legacy project - but one we can all be part of.
And it's hugely exciting.
