In my opinion, invigorating conversation and a good cup of coffee pair well. So, naturally I was stoked to hear about a weekly series of pamphlets called GOOD Sheets that are now available at Starbucks. Each GOOD Sheet breaks down different issues that many socially-minded individuals, such as you and me, may find relevant. A new issue is available every Thursday with an unbiased glance at diverse issues that seek identification and exploration. Want to learn about past GOOD Sheet issues? You can find archived issues of GOOD Sheets through the GOOD website, or you can find a link on the Starbucks homepage.
You may be wondering, “Who’s responsible for these ‘GOOD Sheets,’ and why are they available at Starbucks?” Well, my friend, I’m glad you have pondered this. GOOD is a collaboration of businesses, nonprofits, and individuals who have joined together since 2006 to create magazines, videos, and events across our communities in a continuous mission to define (and keep defining) what GOOD is. Starbucks is an inviting environment to host the distribution of GOOD Sheets, as well as a prime example of a business that ethical owns its corporate responsibility. If you know of many other businesses who give their employees full medical, dental and vision benefits at 20 hours a week, please inform me.
GOOD gets even better. You can sign up for a Super Account with GOOD and receive GOOD magazine for a year, with 100% of your chosen contribution to go to the charity of your choice. That’s right, you pick the amount, and you receive a year’s subscription of the magazine all while benefiting the charity of your choice. I’d say that’s a pretty fantastic deal!
I challenge you, let’s meet up for cappuccino and discuss the next issue of GOOD Sheets. Don’t drink coffee? Grab a hot chocolate or caramel apple spice and join in on the conversation. I’ll bet you have lots to contribute to defining the definition of GOOD. You can even post your comments about issue on the GOOD website for an even broader audience.
