More eco-friendly & green options

This week I've made more fascinating discoveries...really, I love this research!

First, I found an organization that's been around since 2007.  Climate Counts has recently chosen 6 Industry Innovators and my company, Shaklee Corporation, is one of them.  With our 54 year commitment to sustainable living, it is not surprising to ME, but I'm thinking lots of people will be asking, "What's a Shaklee?"  I'd say, "One of the best kept "secrets" in the world!"

Check out Climate Counts for the "scorecard" where you can learn how to vote with your dollars by finding your favorite companies to check their scores.  I was shocked at how few of the companies listed under "Toys & Children's Equipment" were even starting to use sustainable practices.  All companies that are striding toward sustianability, even those working at it for years, have great challenges, but to think that companies that create products for our youngest citizens are the lowest scoring as a group, is pretty disappointing!

Next, my daughter pointed me in the direction of EcoTimber.  Their products are LEEDS certified, sustainably forested & manufactured with the highest environmental & health standards.  Important...not just sustainable, but low in toxins for the protection of your family!  They're also quite beautiful as well.

There's more...but just want to put a plug in for our Earth Day Celebration at the neighborhood cup in Aliso Viejo, CA!  It will be on Thursday, April 22 from 2-5 p.m.  I call it "Arts for the Earth" because we'll have seed planting (organic, of course!), Earth inspired chalk art, music, poetry workshops & lots of fun for all ages. We hope you stop by & have a cup at "the cup"!

Check out the "Unstoppable" video from Climate Counts & tell me what you think.
