How to change the world in 3 steps...Maybe 4.
How do small ideas affect change? Take TOMS Shoes. A guy, Polo training in Argentina, and children with no shoes. Boing! Blake has put shoes on thousands of kids, reducing illness and putting kids back to school. In 3 steps...maybe 4.
I'm Matt Murray, founder of Satchbags. Satchbags (satchel + Bag) is a Chapel Hill, NC based company that takes vinyl billboards before they hit landfills and makes different types of cool bags. Tote bags, duffles, and messenger bags.
We are changing our world by 1. Identifying a problem-in this case the plastic bag monster choking landfills and oceans. 2. Leverage the "Cloud", in this case at home seamstresses looking for work. 3. Disruptive Distribution-in TOMS Shoes case the "One for One" model. and 4. Well you'll just have to wait for 4 March 3rd.
Thanks to the Ignite folks. All these topics sound incredible and looking forward to meeting everyone!
And yes I carry a Murse. It's the like the blue one on satchbags.com

Messenger/Laptop bags from upcycled vinyl billboards, made by out of work, now employed at home seamstresses for the discriminating Murse wearer! Triple Bottom Line. Right here in NC!
