For the Eco-Geeks

I came across this video at Ted Talk on YouTube.  It's both amusing & insightful, especially from the point of my continuing quest for sustainable sanity.  The more I research, the more questions there are!  As Catherine Mohr (301monroe.com) states..."sometimes it's the unexpected changes that can make the biggest difference".

Now, I've often thought about this myself, because I have been a Shaklee Distributor for over 35 years.  One of our product lines is our earth-friendly homecare line, Get Clean.  Our first bio-degradable cleaning product, Basic-H, is celebrating its 50th anniversary!  Can you believe we were so far ahead of current trends, we almost "created" a trend. 

Our Get Clean line is the 2nd generation & was introduced about 3 years ago.  In that time it was named an Oprah Favorite, recognized in many magazines & received multiple environmental product awards.  But, what makes it relevant to this video is the impact it has had on  waste & energy consumption that is probably far greater than choosing green design options.  Just one family who buys a Get Clean starter kit, saves:

•  108 pounds of packaging waste,
•  248 pounds of greenhouse gas &
•  creates the environmental equivalent of planting 10 trees. 
•  In addition, Shaklee recently announced that the purchases of Get Clean products over the last 3 years, has saved enough plastic bottles to wrap around the Earth 28 times!  Amazing!

Another BEST PART is the way it reduces toxins in your home.  Instead of spending a fortune remodeling your home, or building a new eco-friendly home as Caroline Mohr did, you can spend less than $200 and have green clean power that will help you create a healthier family AND a healthier planet.  Now, that's a WIN-WIN!  Check out my web site for more details:

I don't make a habit of doing ads for Shaklee here, but Earth Day is coming, and this is a simple change that everyone can make, without breaking the bank! 

When you can make 16 oz. of safe, non-toxic window cleaner AND 16 oz. of save, non-toxic all-purpose cleaner for less than 10 cents, then that's a bargain that's important to share.  Have a great, healthy, eco-friendly day!
