This Company Wants to Give You $1,000 to Start an Organic Home Garden
Money doesn’t grow on trees, but this is pretty close.https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/simple-mills-1000-prizes-for-your-home-garden
The healthy snack company is celebrating the launch of its new Organic Seed Flour Cracker with a new initiative: The “It Starts at Home” program. Through it, Simple Mills hopes to encourage snackers to make small changes toward decreasing their carbon footprint and giving back to Mother Earth, like starting a garden.
All you have to do is head over to this link, enter your information by May 19, and be patient. May we suggest a snack break? Simple Mills will select ten winners and cover the costs of starting their very own organic garden. The company will give each winner a $1,000 gift card to put toward the garden, which is no small potatoes. Winners will be selected at random, so you’ll just have to hope your name gets plucked from the many that will likely be entered.
Imagine how good it’ll feel to bite into something you grew yourself.

Combining a 300-year-old cultural heritage and a 50 year old silhouette into a modern and tangible form wasn’t easy – but we managed in the end. This is historically our first collaboration on a sneaker with three stripes. This is the Footshop x adidas Superstar ‘Blueprinting’.
Blueprinting is a craft that has its roots in Footshop’s key countries. While creating the sneaker, our main source of inspiration were traditional patterns that are historically connected for example to festive folk costumes.
The silhouette also features a couple unconventional (for a Superstar) hiking elements that are a nod at the local fondness of discovering the nature around us. It’s one of the reasons the collaboration, titled Blueprinting, features a corrugated sole or metal D-rings for the laces.
BLUEPRINTING
Blueprinting is a craft that is over 300 years old, and a part of the UNESCO cultural heritage since 2018 – in those 300 years, the technique and process of it has remained, for the most part, unchanged. First, the white fabric is treated with a special light-green emulsion. The next phase originally utilized cut-out stamps, but these were replaced with the more modern and effective screen printing. After applying the patterns, the fabric is soaked on five wheels in an indigo blue dye. In the next step of the process, the now-indigo-coloured fabric is washed in water and stabilizes. The white pattern first starts to emerge during this step. This is followed by a couple rounds of washing it out, to prevent the end product from gradually losing colour.
