EP. 029 Ryan Black Sambazon: How a purple berry is saving the Brazilian Amazon - a podcast by k80jones

Ryan Black's efforts as an eco-preneur don’t stop with Sambazon. He has joined and started multiple initiatives to encourage innovative entrepreneurship.

Purple for the Planet is a social engagement campaign from April 22 through May 22 to encourage environmental activism. For every customer that dyes their hair purple and posts a selfie, Sambazon will purchase 5 acres of Amazonian rain forest through Rainforest Trust’s Save-an-Acre program.

They found that, for every 584 acres protected, one animal species can be saved!

The Tri (pronounced “tree”) was co-founded by Ryan and other businesses to promote consumer advocacy. The organization encourages consumers to vote with their dollar, not just for what goes in their bellies, but for the future of the planet.And this concept of voting with our dollar is the core of Ryan’s entrepreneurial spirit.
