Frogg: Thank you for your concern. Yes, Cold Stone is largely profit driven. As is EVERY other business in this entire country. And in answer to your question...yes, they do care about the environment. But without you knowing the people within the company personally, I don't think that you can judge whether or not they are "genuine in their consideration for the planet". They may not be as far along in their journey as we are (or as you seem to be)...but they are taking steps in the right direction and we are happy for that. If we only spoke with and inspired people who were already on a "perfect path" with their care of creation, what good would that do? By doing the demo at Kahala...we are fanning the flame of their new concern for the environment and hope that they will continue to make even more choices that benefit the earth. Thanks for reading!

It is all about being considerate and respectful--considerate to the generations of families who will follow us on this earth and respectful to our tender environment. However, I disagree with your efforts to paint Kahala/Cold Stone in a similar light. Though I understand that your family is personally involved in Kahala/Cold Stone, it would be useful to recognize that the company's interests are likely largely profit driven. Do they really care so much about the environment but not about the people who live within it? I think they are the antithesis of the sacrifice that your young family has undertaken. I will continue to follow your sojourn while praying for the safety and well being of your family. I will continue to pray that you have an extraordinary impact on the habits and lifestyle of the world so that we can begin to undue some of the negative effects that we as humans have had on this planet. However, in your future writings, I for one would respectfully appreciate incorporating the efforts of those who are genuine in their consideration for the planet and the people who grace it. God bless you! Sara & Matt,
