Ways to Go Green.....

Happy Earth Day! The way we treat our planet has a direct affect on our health. What is a new commitment you can make to take better care of our Earth?  
Drive less? Carpool! Save gas money by splitting it with friends and reduce the amount of pollution going into the air. Even better….ride your bike or walk to work or to the grocery store if it’s close enough to your home.

Use non-toxic cleaners?

Did ya know that 70% of all water pollution comes from household cleaning and that many cleaners are designated household hazardous waste by the EPA! Use Shaklee Basic H for all-purpose, non-toxic and safe cleaning of windows, mirrors, degreasing, floors, tubs, showers, bathrooms, you name it! It comes in a 16 oz bottle of concentrate and creates 48 gallons of safe, powerful cleaner. Just one bottle is $12.15 and is the equivalent of 5,824 bottles of 26oz Windex.



 
Use a filtered water pitcher - stop buying plastic water bottles?
Buy a reusable BPA water bottle and refill it with filtered water instead of buying bottled water. (I recommend Shaklee Get Clean Water pitcher. It’s the only purifying pitcher that gets lead out of water. It filters more than 5,000 8 oz. glasses and saves more than 2,400 plastic bottles from the landfill).
 Take yourself off junk mailing lists?

Switch from synthetic to all Natural Vitamins?
Not all vitamins are the same.
Plant a Tree?
Support the Arbor Day Foundation. With each membership you’ll receive 10 free trees to plant. One recommendation is to plant these trees in honor of a local organization.
Buy local produce?
Reuse and Recycle common household things?
You can see alot more idea's on Pinterest!
    
Use reusable plastic containers for packing lunches and snacks?
Switch to glass straws?
- we LOVE our Glass Dharma straws. 
  
Plant a Garden?

Use all natural beauty products?
Looking for a natural eco-friendly skin care nutrition system? I use these and love the entire line. 

 


Use Reuseable bags for grocery shopping?

Hang the clothes on the line?
 - they smell amazing!
There are so many changes we can make to the Earth a healthier place to live. Pick one new thing and start now!

Earth Day began on April 22 1970 and over 20 million people across the U.S. participated. Before the inception of Earth Day, Shaklee was a company founded on Living in Harmony and with Nature®. In the 1960s Shaklee introduced Basic-H® Concentrated Organic Cleaner, one of the first nontoxic biodegradable cleaners. Shaklee also leads in environmental achievements, embracing climate change initiatives, and ecol-alliances with 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai and others. Shaklee, we believe in promoting a healthy environment, creating awareness of the issues, and educating others to not only take care of our planet but individual home environments too.
Shaklee Basic H was the official product of the first Earth Day!

A List of Uses for Shaklee Basic-H  Since there are over 1,001 uses it has been difficult to compile a complete list. So, here are a few to start! First, how should Basic-H generally be used? The genius of Basic-H is that it makes water, the “universal solvent,” penetrate dirt and grime more quickly while then rinsing away easily and leaving no toxic residue.

GENERAL USES FOR BASIC-H2 and Basic H the Classic  CLEANING JOBS: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to a quart of warm water WINDOWS, MIRRORS: 2 to 4 drops to a pint of water FLOORS: 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water BASIC-G AND BASIC-H CONCENTRATE: 3 Cups H to 1 Cup G (this mix will be diluted in water as needed) OTHER USES FOR BASIC-H Some of these uses are not approved by Shaklee.
