Can Flowers Live in Green Cleaning Products?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

We placed gerbera daisies in our Simply Floored! green floor cleaner and then did the same with another “green” competitor and a conventional counterpart.

We then did some time lapse photography.  Check out the results in this video.  Let us know what you think.

Oct 3-5 A big weekend in St. Louis for BETTER LIFE

Friday, September 11th, 2009

We are looking forward to participating in both the Taste of St. Louis and the Best of Missouri Market this Fall weekend.  Both events are top notch and a ton of fun.

BETTER LIFE is a sponsor of the Taste and will be faithfully serving as the clean-up crew after the Top Chef competition, including the headlining event with Hubert Keller!    We’ll also be selling our products, so come by and see us.  Mike Kociela, one of the Taste’s organizers, is a true green visionary — he is well on his way to making Taste St. Louis the greenest large scale event in the country (no kidding).  We appreciate the support Mike has shown for BETTER LIFE and hope everyone can come join in the fun at the event.

While on the topic of green visionaries, the Missouri Botanical Gardens has been at the forefront of the green movement for 150 years.   Best of Missouri Market is an annual favorite put on by an amazing organization.   The name says it all, and of course BETTER LIFE fits the bill perfectly, along with some other great artisans, winemakers, and one of our favorites Gooey Louie. We’ll be selling special starter kits at the event.

If you make it to one of these great events, be sure to stop by and say hello!
