Sheepless.org’s contributors are entrepreneurs and sustainable business advocates. We work for small community-focused businesses, have founded etsy stores, and are working artists. Some of us are writing for the first time, while others are seasoned freelance journalists. Professional photographers and award-winning illustrators, a certified public accountant, and a marketing outreach coordinator for a green tech business have all contributed to Sheepless.org.

The project was founded by Scott Ballum, also the founder the graphic design studio Sheepless Co.

Previously, Scott created ConsumeRevolution, a self-published magazine exposing a growing complacency with globalization and consumerism and offering viable alternatives to a “mass-produced” lifestyle—which later prompted the ConsumeReconnection Project, an online journal about his efforts to meet the laborers and craftsmen who made everything he bought for an entire year, with a focus on traceability, buying local, and conscious consumption. These endeavors have been featured in GOOD Magazine, Adbusters, Resurgence (UK), Step Inside Design, and NPR.
