<p>Natalie Chanin is a filmmaker-turned-designer who intiated a community revitalization project that combines old-world craft with cutting edge style, and in the process turned a rural Alabama town into place coveted by the New York, Paris and Tokyo fashion crowd.</p> <p>"Project Alabama" is headquartered in Florence, Alabama, a small town in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, where Chanin grew up. There, the designer employs local women -- former factory workers, retired teachers, widows, stay-at-home moms, and secretaries-- to help sew one-of-a-kind, handmade garments for her fashion line. </p> <p>Gathering together to work in circles reminiscent of the region's dwindling tradition of quilting, the women forge friendships while stitching, embroidering and beading Chanin's gorgeous designs. (Chanin initially used only vintage fabrics found at local thrift shops, but now relies on bulk shipments from the Salvation Army to fill all the orders).

Christie Chatterley is a member of the University of Colorado at Boulder chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Their chapter designed and implemented two high efficiency stoves to better utilize limited resources and provide cleaner more efficient cooking conditions for families in Rwanda. The stoves are made from all local materials including pumice, an abundant resource in the area with ideal thermal properties. Since these stoves are made from all local materials, the goal is the one day help to create microenterprises (small businesses) that will build and sell these stove models, helping to bring more financial stability to the area. These stoves are smokeless, offer a 70 percent reduction in firewood, and they are durable enough for daily use.
