Joe and Anita host a wonderful podcast, The Glocal Family Podcast, from Denver, Colorado.  They are “on a mission, to be a globally-aware family raising a globally-aware child”.  This week, Joe and Anita did an excellent episode about “Maximizing Resources”.  Their podcast was about something one step better than recycling: reusing!  So it makes sense that they would interview Adam Levy, founder and CEO of Zwaggle, about how Zwaggle can help you live a life that contributes to the “greater good”.

If you’d like to hear the entire interview with Adam, click here.

Thanks to Joe and Anita for the great information and for showing some Zwaggle love!

If so, you could be on The Oprah Winfrey Show! 

We have learned that Oprah is looking for families who have figured out innovative ways to save money in this tough economy.  We know our members are some of the savviest parents out there, so we wanted to pass the opportunity along to you.  All you need to do is shoot an email to Oprah Show Producer Melinda Morrison at Mmorrison@harpo.com and tell her why you’re one of “America’s thriftiest families.”  Briefly tell your family’s story and list some of your thrifty tips – including, of course, how Zwaggle helps you save money by sharing quality kids’ items with other parents, instead of buying new.  Good luck and be sure to let us know if you hear anything!
