EcoFair360

I hope everyone had a great weekend. 

I know that Brandon and I did. We spent the weekend presenting at Ecofair360.

For those of you who don’t know:

There were many shades of green at EcoFair360, in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, just eight miles from beautiful Lake Geneva.  With more than 200+ exhibitors, speakers and demonstrations, each day offered a variety of learning and exploring opportunities.

EcoFair360 also featured:

• An open-air display of the alternative fuel vehicles  
• Dozens of live demonstrations and activities
• Exhibits of alternative energy generation: solar, wind, biomass
• Organic Gardening and Lifestyle Area
• Information on green business and saving money for your company 
• Green, natural alternates to harsh cleaning products 
• And much, much more

Being one of the exhibitors we didn’t get much time to look at everything else fair had to offer, although we liked the booths we did get a chance to see. With each booth being completely different than the next it made our time there fly by.

Our mission this past weekend was to save 2000 trees. How you might ask? well…. Shaklee corporation offers a “get clean” starter kit. In this kit you will receive equivalent to:

You'd have to spend more than $3,400 to get the same amount of clean found in the Get Clean Starter Kit!*

When you purchase the Get Clean Starter Kit you also make a positive impact on the planet, you’ll:

Keep 108 pounds of packaging waste from landfills.
Eliminate 248 pounds of greenhouse gas.

Which is equivalent to saving 10 trees. We were looking to find 200 people that would like to change there home to all natural non-toxic cleaning products. We having got there yet be we are well on our way. 

If you would like to help our mission just click here to order the get clean started pack. Also when you join shaklee with an order over $70 you will receive the sports pack absolutely free! That is a $75 retail value! You can also receive another special value, just ask me how at Simpleegreen@hotmail.com.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who made ecofair360 possible.  Everyone that I talk to said that they had a great time, I know that I did.

* Based on comparing number of uses as set forth on product labels of conventional, ready-to-use cleaners.

GET CLEAN™

Safe for you, your home, and your planet™

 

Get Clean™ products use biodegradable cleaning agents, which means they break down easily instead of hanging out in the ground for hundreds of years. They also have no phosphates, borates, nitrates, or other stuff the planet doesn't appreciate. And by making them superconcentrated, we leave you to add water so we can subtract waste. This has tons of implications. Literally. Less weight to ship. Less product to use. Less packaging to throw away. So you can get that clean feeling about your house, knowing you're keeping the planet clean, too.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

When you buy the Get Clean Starter Kit instead of the stuff you probably buy:

• You keep 108 pounds of packaging waste out of landfills
• You eliminate 248 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions

GET CLEAN PRODUCTS OFFER CLEANING CHOICES THAT ARE GREEN, AND HERE'S WHY:

• Sustainably sourced natural ingredients 
• Biodegradable surfactants
• Recyclable packaging
• Recyclable wipes
• Recyclable dryer sheets 
• No chlorine bleach
• No volatile organic cleaning compounds
• No phosphates
• No nitrates
• No borates
• No animal testing

Green Drinks Lake Geneva Happy Hour May 18th

Come one, come all!!!

Lake Geneva is having another Green Drinks happy hour. It will be held at Sprecher’s in Lake Geneva on May 18th at 7:00 pm.  There will be drink and appetizer specials along with a chance to win a Free raffle.

We will be talking and teaching about organic compost and gardening.  You will be surprised to find out how much it will help the planet as well as your pocket book.

It will be a lot of fun and we hope that we will see you all there.

How Green Drinks Started!

How it all started

 

In 1989, at a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in Northern London, Edwin Datschefski was sitting with his green design colleagues Yorick Benjamin and Paul Scott when he noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was sitting with a few of his own eco-conscious mates, so they pulled some tables together. And so a movement was born.

 

The concept evolved into Green Drinks and now it's global. In 2001, Datschefski created an official Web site, and it has since spread across the world. See www.greendrinks.org for the latest city count and a list of countries. Each city has an organiser who arranges meetings in bars and restaurants, relays information via email, and facilitates discussions.

The spirit of Green Drinks is that anyone can come, and this makes for interesting interactions.
There are lots of benefits to green drinks; they are hard to quantify, but when you have seen people come and make new links and learn and argue and set up new schemes and get new jobs etc, it is a good feeling.

 

If you have any questions about Lake Gevena Green Drinks please contacts us at Simpleegreen@hotmail.com.
Or just post a comment and we will get back to you!

Clear Water Outdoor Earth Day Celebration!

We hope everyone had a great weekend!

This past weekend Brandon and I had the privilege of stopped by Big Foot Beach State Park in Lake Geneva, WI.

Clear Water Outdoor had their 5^th Annual Earth Day Celebration and where collaborating with the Friends of BFBSP.  The event had everything from park clean up, Frisbee Golf and Kayak Demos followed by drawings, where all of the proceeds went to BFBSP!!!   

 

 

Clear Water Outdoor works with Friends of Big Foot State Park!

 

 

 

  If you have never been to BFBSP and you live in the area I highly suggest that you try to make it out there, it is beautiful!


I was surprised to see so many different kinds of kayaks available for people to try!


Don’t forget to wear your life jackets!!

Here is where all of the amazing raffles took place including the green kayak on the right!

Raffling off the winners!

The origin of the Clear Water Outdoor name is rooted from the Potowatomi Indians.  The Indian name for Geneva Lake was "Kishwauketoe", which means "clear water." Their beginnings are rooted in the idea of connecting friends and family and oneself to the outdoors. As a family owned business, they want to support you in your efforts to get active, have fun and be connected.

Visit their store on main street in downtown Lake Geneva. Their staff will be there to help you find the perfect outfit and right gear for your next adventure..

Do you know of any green local events around this area? If so we would love to check it out!

My Strawberry Cinch Shake

 

 

I have been doing the Cinch Diet for a few months now and I absolutely love it!!  I have the Cinch Shake for 2 meals out of my day, breakfast and lunch.  Most of the time I am on the go with work so I need something quick, easy and delicious.

On days when I am working, I mix one scoop of the Cinch powder with 8 to 10 oz of whole milk.

Although on my days off I like to change it up a little bit and add the powder to my  home made smoothies. 

 

 

All I need for my delicious strawberry shake is:

• 4 Fresh Strawberries (frozen will work just as well)
• 1/2 Cup of  Ice, about 6 pieces (if Strawberries are Fresh)
• 1 scoop of vanilla cinch
• 1/2 Cup of whole milk
• 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
• A pinch of stevia (a natural sweetener)

 

Here comes the easy part! Put everything in the blender and blend till smooth.

 

Pour into a glass and enjoy!

 

This is only one of my many Cinch recipes, I have a lot more coming soon!

I hope you enjoy!

Elisabeth

SHAKLEE HEADQUARTERS

THE SHAKLEE CORPORATION WORLD HEADQUARTERS IN PLEASANTON, CALIFORNIA IS MUCH MORE THAN THE CENTER OF OPERATIONS. IT'S A PHYSICAL TRIBUTE TO WHAT SHAKLEE BELIEVES IN.

It was designed by world-renowned architect, Gensler, to make a people-friendly, earth-friendly space that reflects Shaklee’s commitment to Living in Harmony with Nature®. No matter where you are in the building, you can see sky, trees, hills and fields. Advanced architectural design brings the beauty of outdoors inside with natural light, natural materials, and natural colors.

Stop by our amazing space and here are some of the things you'll see (besides all that earth and sky):

• Sustainable building materials such as wood panels and doors that were harvested from certified sustainable forests. 
• Carpet squares from Interface that are made of recycled materials
• Task chairs made of recycled materials.
• Carefully landscaped grounds that are a living herbal library representing the botanical ingredients in our products.
• Motion sensors that turn equipment and lighting on and off to conserve energy.
• Window shades controlled by electronic sensors that allow 80% of the light in while shading the building interior spaces from heat. 
• Low-E glass used throughout the building to promote maximum energy efficiency.  
• Under-floor air distribution for energy efficiency and indoor air quality
• Sweeping open spaces that encourage a healthy flow of ideas, information, and, of course, fresh air.
• Gathering spaces around a family-style hearth and gas fireplace.
• Intelligent site orientation and proximity to public transportation.

Making Money Made Easy

LIVE THE DREAM. SHARE THE DREAM. DRIVE THE DREAM.**

 

Has anyone ever handed you the keys to a luxury car and told you to keep it? 

Did they pay your way to a five-star spa resort in the world-famous Napa Valley, plus show you all the wonders of nearby San Francisco?

What if this and much more, could be yours simply by helping other people get the very same things?

 

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE, STARTING TODAY!**

Shaklee is America's number one natural nutrition company. Our exceptional products—backed by more than $250 million in research, development, and clinical testing—also provide a solid earning opportunity.

To date, we have paid more than $5 billion in commissions to people just like you. Shaklee helps families like yours live healthier, richer, and happier lives.

Let us show you how, in 15 months, you can drive a new car, earn up to $100,000, qualify for world travel, and start achieving the life of your dreams. All of this by using and sharing products that improve your health and the health of those you love.

 

 

LIVE LIFE ON YOUR TERMS**

Trips, money and cars are not the only benefits we offer. Shaklee is about living live on your own terms, on your own schedule, with the people you  choose.

What does it take?

Just three clear steps to earning the rewards of a great living:

1. Use Shaklee products to make yourself healthier. Easy enough.
2. Share the products with others. You'll want to.
3. Mentor others to do what you're doing. Paying it forward pays you back.

How much money are we talking?
Instead of a fixed salary in a career that builds someone else's income dream, your Shaklee business is your own and has no income limit. What you put in is what you get out.

 

HOW TO REACH TO TOP**

The person that introduced you to Shaklee often is the same person that becomes your coach and mentor. As you use products, share products and mentor others, this mentor may help you develop a pattern in your work.

Call it a system. Call it a plan or model. Call it what you want, but this is your plan of action in one sentence: After you have become a GOLD Ambassador*, you find three more GOLD Ambassadors and in the process find 10 Consumer Members, and keep doing it again and again.

That's all there is to it. That's how you rise to the top and live your dreams.

When you reach the top of the Shaklee plan, we hand you the keys to your very own Mercedes-Benz hybrid, and you'll be on your way to an exotic five star destination, far from home. We'll even give you new bags to pack—and more—so you can have the time of your life!

It's time to get in the driver's seat and go!

* You can also join as a Member for $19.95, a Distributor for $39.95, and as a GOLD Ambassador with a Super GOLD Mission PAK for $750.

GETTING STARTED IS EASY.**

While there are other ways to join, we suggest you become a GOLD Ambassador with a $299 Mission PAK ($500 SRP value).

This "business-in-a-box" provides everything you need to start, own, and operate your own global business, including your application fee, a free product coupon, a variety of our exceptional products, three months of your own Personal Website, marketing and training materials, and the rights to do business anywhere in the world Shaklee does business.

To get started, e-mail us (Brandon and Elisabeth) at SimpleeGreen@hotmail.com

Our Shaklee Business

WE BELIEVE WE'RE PART OF A MOVEMENT TO MAKE PEOPLE AND THE PLANET HEALTHIER.

 

But most importantly, all of us at Shaklee are in this because we want to do our small part. And each of our small contributions put together will create that major change we wish to see in the world.

 

 

 

 

HEALTHY PLANET

WE'RE ABOUT A BETTER WORLD

At Shaklee, doing business and doing good are not mutually exclusive. We've been demonstrating that for 50 years.

As the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., we've been on a mission to make people healthier. And we've made it part of our job to make the planet healthier along the way.

We were doing it back when green was just a color and biodegradable was barely a word. In fact, we made one of the first biodegradable cleaners ever. And we were the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral™ certification and totally offset our C0₂ emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment. 

Since then, we've made it our responsibility and a conscious part of our culture to do things that help achieve positive social change. And we're committed to being a model of how businesses can help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Read on to see how.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE SMALL ACT OF SCOURING THE SINK CAN BE PART OF THE GIANT ACT OF CHANGING THE WORLD

 

They say that changing the world starts in your own home. We believe that is literally true.  For 50 years, we've been making products that improve the  health of people and the planet. We believe that your home should be the safest, healthiest, and cleanest place in the whole world. That is why we offer homecare products that are safe for you, your home and your planet. While you make your home cleaner, you make your family healthier. You also make the planet healthier for other families as well. And if you think our products work so great you tell others about it, imagine the ripples of change you can generate. If that doesn't give you a whopping feeling of clean, we don't know what will.

 

 

DOING THINGS FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
BY DOING OUR PART TODAY

Making a difference to the health of the planet on which a healthy life depends is part of our legacy and commitment at Shaklee.

Since our inception, we have worked quietly on groundbreaking environmental initiatives.  In 1989, Shaklee helped build schools and health clinics and planted one million trees in Asia in partnership with the American Himalayan Foundation, chaired by Sir Edmund Hillary. In 2000, Shaklee became the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral™ certification and totally offset its C02 emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment. 

We have continued to extend our environmental leadership into the new millennium, supporting local community initiatives and forging partnerships with visionary environmental leaders and global non-profit organizations, including Dr. Wangari Maathai, the Founder of the Green Belt Movement and the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. 

Along the way we have received numerous awards and accolades. Our belief in the difference we can make together has become even stronger.  We invite you to join us in helping to create a safer, healthier planet.
