COME, my tan-faced children,
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready;
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp edged axes? Pioneers! O pioneers!
For we cannot tarry here,
We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger,
We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
By Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
If you are reading this website, you are a pioneer! It’s not easy to be green. Kermit was right. Let the “weapons” and “pistols” from the above poem be our commitment to the environment and to standards that reach beyond what is a norm today.
Having the doctorate degree in bioengineering, I wish we would educate ourselves more about the products we buy. Let’s be more mindful of their social and environmental impacts. Even products that claim to be “green” often contain toxic ingredients, like bleach. And all seem to be of “general purpose.” What they lack (aside from being produced with no respect for the environment or people’s health), in our opinion, is that they are not customized to specific needs. Every house is built differently; therefore every house requires its own cleaning supplies. There comes Holistic Home LLC:
Holistic Home LLC offers green cleaning services and chemical-free cleaning products that are hand made with common, nontoxic ingredients paired with essential oils. They are biodegradable, therefore environmentally friendly. In fact, they all come from nature: they are derived from plants and minerals.
Holistic Home’s products are customized to fit your household’s needs; we mix supplies to match particular surfaces in your house. We reuse our bottles and containers by simply refilling them upon your request. We strive to waste less.
We all owe it to Mother Nature to start taking good care of her and her bountiful fruits that we take too often for granted. We owe it to ourselves to stop treating our bodies to chemicals used in simplest of activities, like cleaning our houses with commercial cleaners that are filled with toxins. We have to protect and prolong what’s most important – the Life: our, others’, and the planet as a whole.
You, the client, are a very important part of building a stronger and more environmentally conscious community. We are just the middle men who strive to operate in the most sustainable manner possible.
