Web Cube Customers Go Green

Happy Earth Day from Web Cube! In celebration of Earth Day, we would like to shine a spotlight on some of our most "earth-friendly" customers. These brands consciously practice sustainability and ecological integrity in the manufacturing of each one of their products. Here's how:

Manduka: Eco-friendly yoga brand Manduka utilizes natural, recyclable, sustainable and biodegradable materials in the manufacturing of all their yoga products. Their company was founded on the practice of eco-responsibility and a general respect for all living things.

IPATH: Skateboarding footwear brand IPATH manufactures their shoes with water based glues, soy inks, organic cotton, hemp, canvas, and other eco-friendly materials. IPATH has made it their company mission to respect the earth and reduce waste.

Royal Hawaiian Orchards: Based in Hilo, Hawaii, Royal Hawaiian fosters a strong cultural respect for the natural resources of the Hawaiian islands. Royal Hawaiian practices sustainability at their orchards through their planting, growing and harvesting processes. Additionally, all leftover parts of the macadamia nuts are recycled into fertile compost or energy.

Sojourn Beauty: Unique hair product company Sojourn is committed to ecological integrity, and creates hair products that are biodegradable and sulfate free.

Team Web Cube at PyCon 2013

The Web Cube team had the opportunity, for the second year in a row, to both sponsor and attend PyCon 2013 in Santa Clara, California. The team was able to communicate, learn and connect with the Python community, learning about the past, present and future of this dynamic programming language that we have been utilizing for over 6 years.

Python is a unique open source programming language, which emphasizes code simplicity and readability. The Web Cube team had the opportunity to listen to presentations by various leaders in the Python community including teams from Instagram, Pinterest, Google and Dropbox. A Web Cube team favorite was Eben Upton, the founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. After his Keynote speech, Eben announced by way of a tribute to Steve Jobs, that all attendees would be given a complimentary Raspberry Pi device.

On the last day of PyCon, we had the opportunity to hear Guido van Rossum, the developer of the Python language, give a keynote presentation. We gained new insight and understanding as to the changes van Rossum has in mind for this innovative programming language.

The Web Cube team returned to San Diego energized and inspired by what we were able to learn at PyCon. We can’t wait to get started implementing this knowledge and producing even better results for our customers!
