Fadd, 1982. Perhaps in reaction to the brutalist architecture that dominated much of communist-era Hungary, this building, a wellness centre at the time in the village of Fadd near the Danube, reflects the so-called "organic" architecture movement that emerged in the 70s. It sought to integrate Hungarian folk and rural traditions with contemporary design and materials.

I've been a long-time fan of Dr. Bronner's soap, but reading their latest annual "All-One" report has definitely solidified those feelings. Here are a few things worth noting (most of these facts are pulled from the report, but some are from other sources):

1. They buy 90% of the olive oil (used as an ingredient in many of their products) from Palestinian farmers in the #WestBank.

2. They use 100% renewable generated power in their production facilities.

3. They are transitioning away from plastic refill bottles and instead using wax-paper cartons. (with a much lower environmental footprint).

4. They gave a lot of money to some good causes --about 2% of their REVENUE (not profits).

5. They are major customers of many, many #organic farmers in the US and around the world.

6. The company is unapologetic about supporting #DEI Principles.

7. Their highest-paid executive is paid around 5 times what their lowest-paid full-time, fully vested employee is paid --- which means the CEO makes a little over $200k a year. (most companies pay their CEO's hundreds of times what the rank and file are paid)

8. The company played a big role in supporting the growth of the industrial #hemp industry (decades before it hit the mainstream), when it switched to using hemp oil in place of the ubiquitous "caramel color" in its products.

9. The company still shares the #Jewish / #Univeralistic teachings of the original Dr. Bronner on its labels, who started his soap company as a way to share his teachings about the importance of love, tolerance and #peace.

10. The products have so many uses.

Hi all, I've just setup my own #Akkoma instance, so it's time for an updated #introduction
I promise I won't move accounts again and I'll keep @kedara as a backup.

I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras which greatly inspire me.

I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of #AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a work account (and any opinions are my own).

I love #photography , mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds #trees
I try to make a trip to the #forest at least every weekend, I'm lucky to live at the edge of the #Veluwe nature area.

I love growing food in my #garden using #organic #permaculture and #RegenerativeAgriculture inspired methods, I'm dreaming of tending my own #FoodForest some day.

Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22.

I'll mainly post in English with some posts in Dutch as well. Unpinned toots will be deleted after 3 months, I only boost photos with alt text (feel free to let me know if I've forgotten to add it!).

Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!
