ECOSTORE ROCKS!

I have known Lyne Appel Downing for about 7 months but it feels like I have known her for years. Lyne is this teeny tiny woman. My shadow weighs more than her, but I swear when she enters a room she is larger than life. In fact, her aura enters a room 5 minutes before her.

That's because Lyne is so passionate, so full of energy. Lyne helped orchestrate the launching of the New Zealand company ecostore here in the USA. Her philosophy is be good to the earth. Be good to your body. No nasty chemicals. She's taken on this endeavor like it's religion and I am gobsmacked by what she has accomplished--this regular "mom" from the suburbs--is helping run a company and educating consumers (like me) how to re-think what chemicals are in our cleaning products. My IQ has gone up 10 points since I met her.

So you get it. Lyne is an amazing business women, but she is also an wonderful friend and human being. When I told Lyne that the South Oakland Citizen's for the Homeless were in need of soap products for their guests she responded by supplying them with enough soap for all their guest for a year! How cool is that? To a homeless person soap and showers, things we take for granted, are a luxury--a wonderful treat.

So here's a great big shout out to ecostore USA and Lyne Appel Dowing. YOU ROCK!

Malcolm Rands is New Zealand's "ecoman". In a USA interview he talks about permaculture, regeneration and the quest to rid the world of nasty chemicals.

MALCOM RANDS

April and I had the honor of interviewing Malcm Rands of New Zealand yesterday. I am making a 1/2 hour documentary on him for Earth Day.

He's really an amazing individual--smart, funny, humble, inventive. I really enjoyed my the time I spent with him. I'll be following him around for about a week as he hits the local Earth Expos.

SIFE and ecostore USA

I've been really hyping ecostore USA products for weeks. I received a box of cleaning products to try and I loved them all. They work and they don't contain any nasty chemicals. It's a WIN WIN.

Well now it's a WIN WIN WIN, because if you buy one of their products at Walgreen's you help SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise).




Watch the video. Run out to Walgreen's. Buy something from ecostore USA.

Be good to the earth.

Be good to your body.

Be good to students across the world.

WIN! WIN! WIN!

This St. Patrick's I'm going green. No more cleaning products with NASTY chemicals for me. I'm hooked on ecostore USA.
