We've been using BPCo's compostable satchels and labels for a few years now and the quality is so great! Such an easy company to work with for custom orders and we're so glad there is finally a better environmental alternative. Our customers love receiving their packages in BPCo satchels too. Keep up the fabulous work! xx
I absolutely LOVE these compost packs. Better Packaging truly makes you feel better, and they are just so beautiful! So light to touch and yet tough when filled with our products. I'm so happy we have made the switch. We use both the small and medium size and find they fit a lot more in than we expected!!

Owning or renting a high-quality home within reach of the family budget means children do better in school, parents are less stressed and seniors are better positioned to age in place. Better choices mean greater opportunities.
Most important, investors should understand that current market forces make women-owned companies very promising opportunities. The lack of funding means that there is less competition for women-backed companies, and those companies, on average, perform better than those with all male founders.

Early Unix and C are examples of the use of this school of design, and I will call the use of this design strategy the New Jersey approach. I have intentionally caricatured the worse-is-better philosophy to convince you that it is obviously a bad philosophy and that the New Jersey approach is a bad approach.
However, I believe that worse-is-better, even in its strawman form, has better survival characteristics than the-right-thing, and that the New Jersey approach when used for software is a better approach than the MIT approach.
Now I want to argue that worse-is-better is better. C is a programming language designed for writing Unix, and it was designed using the New Jersey approach. C is therefore a language for which it is easy to write a decent compiler, and it requires the programmer to write text that is easy for the compiler to interpret. Some have called C a fancy assembly language. Both early Unix and C compilers had simple structures, are easy to port, require few machine resources to run, and provide about 50%-80% of what you want from an operating system and programming language.
A further benefit of the worse-is-better philosophy is that the programmer is conditioned to sacrifice some safety, convenience, and hassle to get good performance and modest resource use. Programs written using the New Jersey approach will work well both in small machines and large ones, and the code will be portable because it is written on top of a virus.
It is important to remember that the initial virus has to be basically good. If so, the viral spread is assured as long as it is portable. Once the virus has spread, there will be pressure to improve it, possibly by increasing its functionality closer to 90%, but users have already been conditioned to accept worse than the right thing. Therefore, the worse-is-better software first will gain acceptance, second will condition its users to expect less, and third will be improved to a point that is almost the right thing. In concrete terms, even though Lisp compilers in 1987 were about as good as C compilers, there are many more compiler experts who want to make C compilers better than want to make Lisp compilers better.
There is a final benefit to worse-is-better. Because a New Jersey language and system are not really powerful enough to build complex monolithic software, large systems must be designed to reuse components. Therefore, a tradition of integration springs up.
The lesson to be learned from this is that it is often undesirable to go for the right thing first. It is better to get half of the right thing available so that it spreads like a virus. Once people are hooked on it, take the time to improve it to 90% of the right thing.
"A passionate book calling for improved bus transportation in the United States. Focusing on success stories and best practices, the book provides compelling guidelines on how bus transit can be improved to better serve the needs of all bus passengers, provide more equitable access to direct, reliable, and fast bus lines, and attract more passengers."
Journal of Urban Affairs
"Higashide offers an eloquent argument for better bus transit systems through a multi-pronged approach of planning, research, and advocacy that transportation planners and activists for social equity and environmental improvement can use."

"Better Buses, Better Cities inspires us to fix the bus system in whatever community we live and work in....Higashide persuasively argues that better bus systems will create better cities for all citizens....Exceptionally well researched, written, organized and presented, [it] is a welcome and effective resource for social activists, governmental policy makers, city planners, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject."
Midwest Book Review
Buses can and should be the cornerstone of urban transportation, but in the U.S., they have long been an afterthought in budgeting and planning. But fortunately that is changing. A new generation of activists, planners, and elected leaders have recognized the power of better bus service to affordably connect people with jobs, healthcare, and everything they need to live their lives.
In a new book, Better Buses, Better Cities: How to Plan, Run, and Win the Fight for Effective Transit, TransitCenter Director of Research Steven Higashide chronicles real-world stories of reform, such as Houston redrawing its bus network overnight, Boston making room on its streets to put buses first, and Indianapolis winning better bus service at the ballot box. It explains what a successful bus system looks like and the importance of strong civic advocacy and public management in achieving it.
Higashide argues the consequences of subpar transit service fall most heavily on vulnerable members of society. Transit systems should be planned to be inclusive and provide better service for all. These are difficult tasks that require institutional culture shifts; doing all of them requires resilient organizations and transformational leadership.
Belonging in Healthcare provides a practical, research-based guide for how to be a better ally for coworkers who are from underrepresented groups. Filled with firsthand accounts from nurses, physicians, staff, administrators, and professors, combined with published studies, the book will help you spot situations where you can create a more inclusive workplace and everyday actions to take so everyone can thrive.
The key to addressing this kind of division is to have better -- not fewer -- arguments. After all, argument is fundamental to any democracy, and limiting arguments can suppress needed deliberation. This is the premise of the Better Arguments Project, a collaboration among the Aspen Institute, Facing History and Ourselves, and Allstate.
The buildings in which we work and live use roughly 40% of the energy in the U.S. economy at a cost of over $400 billion. Through a variety of efficiency improvements and proven approaches, we can make these buildings more energy efficient and better places to live and work while creating jobs and building a stronger economy.
