The fog decided not to linger today, and left us San Franciscans with a ridiculously beautiful day. I decided to go for a ride after work towards Marin county. So I headed out through the Presidio (gorgeous) and then across the Golden Gate (ubergorgeous). Right as I was falling in love with SF all over again, enjoying the absolutely epic views of the Pacific and the Bay, I pass a guy with a familiar bike outfit. I look back and it was non-other than Robin Williams.

So, I slowed down and chatted with him about the merits of living in San Francisco and doing Triathalons. I do professional photography for brightroom.com shooting triathalons and marathons on the weekends. I had photographed him a couple of months ago in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathalon, and that’s where I had recognized his jersey from. Amazing! I can’t attest more to how great this city is…you NEED to come visit

Here’s to companies that care deeply about the environment. We only have one earth, and it’s fastly getting smaller. Soon we will live in a globalized economy with fewer barriers to trade. Companies will be global, and their actions will have global implications on our lives, our environments, the air we breath, and the water we drink.

One of my favorite people in the world, Justine Rosa, works for absurdly little money at a midtown Manhattan architecture firm. She’s an amazing Cornell-trained interior designer with a razor edge wit. She cares deeply about the environment, as she’s a fellow Montanan.

Through my conversations with her, she turned me on to Interface. One of those companies that you never think about, but they make like half the industrial carpet in the world. You can only imagine the waste involved in developing carpeting solutions. Carpet is/was completely un-recyclable. They’ve come up with some pretty awesome ideas. You can read more about it here.
