<p>Maybe I&#39;m a little biased but I think that in Vermont you&#39;ll find a higher percentage of people who are working to change the world.&#0160; It&#39;s just a guess&#8230; I don&#39;t have any reasearch to back it up, but here&#39;s an example.&#0160;</p>
<p>At <a href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/" target="_self" title="Real, solid wood furniture, handmade in VT">Vermont Woods Studios</a> we did a joint project a few years ago, with a group of students from Marlboro College Graduate Center who were studying to get their <a href="http://gradschool.marlboro.edu/academics/mba/" target="_self" title="MBA in Managing for Sustainability">MBA in Managing for Sustainability</a>.&#0160; Many of those professionals are now workng to change the lives of girls in Africa as part of the <a href="http://girleffect.org/media/about/" target="_blank" title="The Girl Effect and Daughters of Toleza">Daughters of Toleza Scholarship</a>.</p>
<p>I was looking at Marlboro&#39;s Facebook to learn what other projects students and alumni are involved in and I was impressed to see dozens of projects ranging from the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/raleighcityfarm" id="js_0">Raleigh City Farm</a> (a national recipient of Green America&#39;s People &amp; Planet awards) to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/threerevolutions" id="js_2">Three Revolutions: Funding Food Through Community</a>.&#0160; We salute the students, faculty and staff at Marlboro College for their fine work and dedication to changing the world.&#0160; We&#39;re proud supporters of the <a href="http://girleffect.org/media/about/" target="_blank" title="The Girl Effect and Daughters of Malawi">Daughters of Toleza Scholarship</a>.&#0160; Check it out through <a href="http://www.youtube.com/girleffect" target="_blank" title="The Girl Effect">this 2 minute video</a> and see how these African girls and their sponsors are changing the world.</p>
