Mitchell's guest this evening is Tanja Andrejasic-Wechsler, founder of Our Humanity Matters. In her own words:
As a philosopher and engineer, I decided to create a bottle with a strong social mission and to campaign for a more enlightened humanity by teaching about water and by offering an alternative to current water containers which are most always plastic. I AM WATER DROP ™ is a beautiful, natural, water-drop shaped bottle created to inspire a more ecological humanity by promoting our relationship with the rest of Nature and the delicacy of the element water that supports life itself.
Tanja is the founder of Our Humanity Matters, and dedicated to inspiring a more enlightened and sustainable humanity that understands all life is connected and interdependent. She is a systems thinker whose efforts are creating a paradigm shift in public awareness of inter-connectivity with one another and the rest of Nature through systems of communication and connectivity including products, art and water. She believes that media and messaging has become part of the nervous system of global society and must reflect our highest values, aspirations and further the connection to the rest of life of which humanity is an intricate part. Tanja was born and raised in Slovenia.
Mitchell and Tanja know each other for some years and have worked on projects together over time. Mitchell was on one of the panels on Altruism (now posted on the Altruism Youtube channel) filmed at the Society for Ethical Culture of which Tanja was one of the organizers and producers.
