"We're excited to bring to the Baltimore art and design community a fresh, socially-responsible perspective," says Karalnik. "And we wanted to share our mission with the community with an evening of entertainment and education. In an era of dwindling natural resources, increasing costs of materials, and mountainous landfills, if we each do our own little part, we can effect change on a greater level for the good of all."

The launch party was held Friday, December 5, 2008, at Sky Lofts in Baltimore, MD. Thanks to all who came!
