"Ready to Work" in Braddock
On any given day, you’ll find me in Braddock, Penn., a small borough in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh.

I’m a farmer here, working full time, growing produce in the city.

Who are you rooting for?
My name is Phiko Dingiso. I usually play central midfield and began coaching soccer in 2005. This week, I am coaching the children of Levi Strauss & Co. employees in South Africa at a soccer camp run by Grassroot Soccer – a local South African nonprofit focused on HIV/AIDS and soccer.

Modern Living ... For Sale on eBay
They say you can find anything for sale on eBay. How about a healthy, sustainable home?
This week, the answer is: Yes.
As the founder and editor of ecofabulous, I’ve had the unique pleasure of working with Reclaimed Space and over 20 eco-conscious manufacturers to create and build what we’re calling Modern Living – a combination interactive exhibit and home – for Dwell on Design, the West Coast’s largest design event.

Today is not a typical Wednesday here. Far from it.Once a year, Levi Strauss & Co. encourages its employees to skip work … and volunteer in their communities. For employees in North America, today’s the day. And it is anything but “a day off.”
