2012 Captain Planet Gala!

Recently I went to the Captain Planet Gala! I love donating and supporting the Captain Planet Foundation. :D I had a really great time meeting a lot of people and catching up with friends. The panel speakers there were Sir Richard Branson, Ted Turner, and President Jimmy Carter! I also got to meet a woman that I had been looking forward to seeing that night that I really admire, Sara Blakley Founder of Spanx! She was just as awesome in person and I was honored to meet her. :)

Southface Visionary Dinner

Last night I went to the 2012 Southface Visionary Dinner!

For those of you who don't know Southface: Southface works with the construction and development industry, government agencies and communities to promote sustainable homes, workplaces and communities. I support Southface and their awesome work! My non-profit organization Maya's Ideas 4 The Planet and my dads company Undercurrent Labs did a sponsorship for the event.

The keynote speaker was the amazing Amory Lovins, Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute. The Argon award went to Laura Turner Seydel and Rutherford Seydel for their life long work in environmental organizations. My parents and I had a great evening!

Here are some pictures from the event:

Here is a picture of me and my friend Laura Turner Seydel and some new friends I made:
