Hello Cool World (105)
By Katherine Dodds On January 01, 2010 | 0 Comments
It's a time of reflection on where the need is, and on what one can possibly do to have any kind of impact. I prepared for the new year by having a donations frenzy yesterday afternoon for a number of alternative media venues that I regularly read. (List and links at the end of this blog). And thank you to all you HelloCoolWorld.com supporters that donated to
GiveSomethingBig. If you missed the chance to send holiday cards, you can
donate to Inter Pares anytime! We think they are worth supporting.
Now my thoughts my heart goes out to Gaza.

Katherine Dodds AKA "Kat" is the founder of Good Company Communications and HelloCoolWorld.com. Trained in renegade advertising & branding through her work with Adbusters in the '90s, Kat's early induction into the possibilities of the web-world was inspired by the term hypertext, which she immediately found comforting. She is dedicated to cause-related communication and to the development and use of tools that promote democratic processes.

One of the pleasures 
of working on the ‘GiveSomethingBig.com’ campaign for Inter Pares was meeting designer David Berman. He’s been working with the Ottawa-based social justice organization for 8 years. We had met on the phone during an earlier project -- but in the summer of ’08 we gathered in the IP board room, for a workshop with the data-boys from Exvisu, to talk about audiences, blogospheres and strategies to motivate giving.
NEWSFLASH! Our GSB campaign featured in Design Edge Canada!

Hello Cool World has been working with peace & justice NGO Inter Pares for over two years now and we really believe in the work they do and the way they do it. They take a grassroots approach to structural change, which strongly appeals to us. They were early supporters of The Corporation and by working with us to develop their campaigns, they continue to support all the work we do.
Usually we don’t ask for direct donations but if you’re thinking about making a charitable donation this year or looking for a meaningful gift, please consider Inter Pares’ Give Something Big campaign. And if you have a little time to spread the word about the campaign -- that would thrill us too!

Join the Wildcat Strike on Shopping!
As is our annual tradition, we are closing our webstore Friday, November 27 for Buy Nothing Day. It's the same day as Black Friday, the official kick-off of the Christmas shopping season where consumer mobs flood stores and ransack shelves in a frenzied quest for low, low prices. Hopefully this year no workers will be trampled to death in the ensuing hysteria, and we encourage everyone to give this deranged day of consumerism gone wild a miss. But if you really can't deny yourself, we love this faux website at Do The Green Thing where you can "shop your sustainable heart out and Buy Nothing™."
