Want you to get the “Real Dirt on Clean!”

 

FACT:  218,316 reported poison exposures in 2005 were from household cleaning products    

FACT:  90% of our time is spent indoors. EPA reports that air pollution is up to five times higher inside than outside

FACT:  Indoor pollutants come from all sorts of chemicals we use to make our lives easier every day—paints, carpets, furniture, household cleaners, personal care, among others

FACT:  Asthma rates in children under age five have increased more than 160% from 1980-1994 

 

     Training information & Handouts 

The Eco-Healthy Child Care program (EHCC), encourages healthier child-care settings by training child-care providers to protect children and staff from harmful chemical exposures—from Bisphenol-A in plastic food containers, PVC in toys, and formaldehyde in commonly-used furniture to lead and mercury—with free or low-cost alternatives that are easy to implement.

Product Information


 

With our current economic situation, to remain healthy and productive,

nonprofits like ours are forming strategic partnerships with companies that share a common vision. After careful consideration, we have chosen to partner with a company with a long history of giving back to communities: Shaklee Corporation. We are very excited to add to our current fundraising efforts this new program that makes it really easy for our supporters to help us raise funds. When you make a purchase from our online Shaklee store, PFPALS will benefit. The program is entirely free for us, and we get a check each month based on purchases made through this Web site.

 

Shaklee quality products can easily replace products used every day in the home, including cleaning products, vitamins, and health and beauty aids. And because Shaklee products are backed by an unconditional money-back guarantee, you have nothing to lose—and we have everything to gain. 

 

To order from our online store, simply go to www.pfpals.myshaklee.com
