The key idea of Pinch of Colour comes from Linda’s childhood experience in Albania, a developing country with a serious problem of water conservation and water filtration system. Even though Linda has been in America for many years, she has been regularly going back to her mother country to help those people who need it the most. She always thought of helping people not just as means of doing something good, but also to have a purpose in life.
Seeking ways to give back to society, Linda had the vision to start a beauty company that would build awareness about the importance of water and raise money to help nonprofit organizations grow and help people in need all around the world. On January 2016, with her core concept, water conservation, Pinch of Colour was launched.
Pinch of Colour wants to be part of a society that builds awareness and teaches the importance of conserving water. The water crisis in South Africa, where millions of people don’t have water to drink, is building awareness about the issue so that everyone can contribute their little part.

One cannot but notice a problem of accessing organic food in big cities. Available organic products tend to be either extremely expensive or of foreign origins. In 2009 VkusVill's CEO Andrey Krivenko decided to bring together farmers from Moscow region and other parts of Russia to supply the market with brand new organic solutions.
A growing number of people give their preference to products from VkusVill because the company is specialized in natural and safe goods that help customers to live healthier lifes. The idea to create such a chain of stores came through the personal need of healthy nutrition. The founders themselves struggled to find food without extra nutritional supplements offered by the existing supermarkets. The outcome was dissatisfying. Then the alternative solution was developed.
The founders realized that the cooperation with local markets is not always reliable. The suppliers were always changing. Moreover, they discovered that some suppliers tried to cheat VkusVill by selling the same supermarket products but simply without labels.
The solution was to create a company which would provide people with the certified goods from the farmers. The company now buys products made by the local farmers and sells them under the brand name "VkusVill". In a nutshell, "One does not need to think about the brand of milk purchased, one just buys milk by VkusVill" - and one knows that it is of the highest quality", told us Eugenii Razgulyaev.

The opportunity for Bioconexion is to streamline the way rural growers and metropolitan buyers come together through creation of a virtual marketplace. The concept of connecting people has been transformational, especially for rural growers who are now able to transition unutilized or underutilized land into profit. Regional products are sustainable and in demand with metropolitan consumers and restaurateurs. Bioconexion connects demand directly to the source of the product and to the families that produce them.
A technology platform would allow them to identify and leverage more land and communities throughout Argentina to meet the growing demand for sustainable goods impacting lives. This allows Bioconexion to promote good health and well-being at a larger scale, encouraging more farmers to stay close to the land through innovation (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure).
One of the things that sets Cafe Carmo apart from other restaurants is the point of view its owners have towards competition. Rather than competing against other restaurants in the area that serve locally sourced food, the owners of Cafe Carmo prefer to team up with them. “Competition” to them, instead, are the restaurants serving unhealthy foods from non-sustainable sources.
Dana Honn said he likes to "establish good relationships with similar restaurants and considers them partners." He added that they work together with "obstacles, joint purchasing, and finding local suppliers." So far, it’s been successful. Working with similar restaurants helps them get the word out about what they’re doing, and encourages other restaurants to adopt some of their sustainable habits.
Another thing that they take pride in at Cafe Carmo is the way they treat their employees. Honn noted that he "pays his employees a livable wage, allows them to make menu suggestions, and connects and engages with his employees." As a result, he’s noticed an extremely low turnover rate, which is something "unheard of in the restaurant industry, especially in New Orleans."
His employees are well informed of the impact their food choices make on the environment, and his employees "make more informed decisions" as a result. The employees of Cafe Carmo take their knowledge home and share it with friends and family. By getting his employees engaged in Cafe Carmo’s goals, they’re able to inform others within the community.
On their website, Cafe Carmo points out they embrace the Slow Food International’s philosophy of good, clean, and fair: good meaning quality, flavorsome and healthy food; clean meaning production that does not harm the environment; and fair meaning accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers. By locally sourcing their food, pricing the food they serve at a reasonable price, using biodegradable/compostable carryout containers and biodegradable cleaning supplies, and repurposing furniture, they’re supporting the cause to improve the environment and lessen their carbon footprint.
