Right on Track!

At Saltspring Soapworks we get lots of ideas…some of them a little weird, I think!  But sometimes, we get ideas….and like the Hundredth Monkey, or the Collective Unconscious…it seems like other people are getting the same ideas.  When our ideas and others’ match…..it looks like we are RIGHT ON TRACK!

I liked this short article from the Canadian Natural Health Retailer, March – April 2010 issue:

“Manufacturers are becoming more aware of their impact on the environment and implementing strategies to reduce their footprint.”

Here’s the part I like, the same ideas we are working on…..and you’ll soon see the results:

“More manufacturers are switching to glass bottles and jars.  While plastic can be recycled, glass can be washed, sterilized and reused.  That is good for the environment.  Boxing is now being made with recycled materials, and more products are being manufactured locally.  Canadian manufacturing of body care products has grown substantially over the past few years.  Buying locally is one of the best ways to reduce our environmental footprint. ”

Thanks to Colleen Hague of Awaken My Senses for the above…..and thanks for letting us know we are RIGHT ON TRACK!!
