I absolutely have to take this opportunity to congratulate fellow 2006 Northwestern alum, Jessa Brinkmeyer, for her recent 2009 Green Award presented by Chicago Mag! Jessa is an avid environmentalist and the owner of a fabulous boutique, Pivot - Chicago's first boutique devoted to eco-fashion. Should you ever find yourself in the area, do pay her a visit (1101 W. Fulton, Chicago) and congratulate her for a job well done (oh, and purchase a thing or two as well!....).
