Nivedha R.M, founder of TrashCon

First, Congratulations!

Congrats to the folks who received permanent full subscriptions to 2Buts.com by preordering their copy of The Two But Rule. And special congratulations to the subscriber who referred the most new members in September. My beloved Freewrite Traveler is on the way to them now. May it serve them well!

BUT, if you missed the action in September, fear not! In October, you can get a 1 year full subscription to 2Buts.com (and other goodies) by sending in your proof of preorder. Details here.

Today’s 2Buts Award

My version of morning pages involves searching for great stories of people applying the Two But Rule — whether they know that’s what they are doing or not — and recording them in my “Daily Buts” journal.

In all my recent searches, few stories have blown me away like the story of Nivedha R.M. and her company, TrashCon.

I’m going to start this story the way Nivedha ended it in a recent TedX talk:

A mother starts a bedtime story, “Once upon a time, there was trash.”
The child says, “Mommy, what is trash?”

Subscribers, read on for the full story. You’re going to love it. (Great video.)

If you aren’t a subscriber…well, here’s the link to take care of that problem…and save some money while you’re at it. ;)
