"When I first started working at Badger I had a dream that I was searching for my new green shoes. The owners, Bill and Katie, were helping me to search. How accurate our dreams often are! Here at Badger we are all constantly searching for “our new green shoes.” Every decision is weighed for its environmental impact. First, do no harm. Second, when possible, help to make the earth a healthier place. It’s a pleasure to work in an environment where cutting edge thinking about “doing good” is the norm.
Badgers love Earth Day. We celebrate by spending a morning – wearing our sturdiest sneakers, green or not, and cleaning the local roadsides as well as our yard here at Badger. It will be a chance to turn the compost, clean out the garden beds, and plant a few flowers before we sit down together to enjoy a 100% organic, mostly local, and fair trade lunch. It’s all part of a fashion trend here at the Badger Mines where we are always searching for new green shoes!"
