Bantar Gebang
The holiday season is in full effect. Seems that all of us at the office are jazzed about the Holiday Party invites on the bulletin board. However, I recently came across an archived article that has allowed me to feel especially grateful for my life during this holiday season. My job is rewarding, my friends and family are supportive while also providing daily stoke and there's a roof over my head at night. This article dates back to late September 2011 so it's still very accurate for the current times at Bantar Gebang, the largest Indonesian landfill. ( READ HERE ) Be thankful for the life you live and live the life you love.

Guardians of the Forests
Guardians of the Forests
"Large scale conversion of forests to other purposes has failed to promote local people's prosperity. On the other hand, the indigenous people have proven that they are the real guardians of Indonesia's rain forests. It is time for the state to return full rights to the indigenous people to manage forests, not just for their own sustainable benefits, but for the rescue of the entire planet."

Working with our Hands
Workshop Tools
We've been quite busy lately with a couple projects. Although the extreme heat wave in Bali is putting everyone in the doldrums, we're pressing on. Project completion will soon be displayed.

Living in a Wasteland
Living in a Wasteland
This vid is a representation of why we begun our initiative to resurrect waste in Indonesia while providing fair trade jobs to locals. Let this be a catalyst for others to contribute their knowledge and physical will power so all global communities have a chance to live and work in humane conditions.

Travel Guide to S.F.
IndoSole featured guest @ MuchBetterAdventures.com
We get really stoked when unknown individuals reach out to us. After routinely blasting through the morning mailbox a few weeks ago, I came across an email from a kool kat by the name of Sam Bruce. He went on to introduce himself along with Much Better Adventures, the online community he founded a couple years ago. Through his supportive words, I could feel his encouragement for IndoSole to keep pursuing its mission. He wanted us to somehow get involved with his community of awesomeness and after acknowledging their commitment for travelers to have an interactive, local perspective to new destinations, my cards were all in. Please check their site out (muchbetteradventures.com) and scan through their integrative pages....some great material no joke.
Since San Francisco is my home for the autumn months, I thought maybe it would be a swell idea to write a travel guide to the world's most progressive city. There was one parameter that Mr. Bruce through out at me. He told me that there needed to be focused outdoor activity included in the city guide. Well....wasn't a tough decision. click on link to read : {TRAVEL GUIDE to SAN FRANCISCO}. IndoSole definitely plans on contributing more material for Much Better Adventures so stay tuned.
