A Greener Tomorrow
Changing for our children
I always cared about our impact on the environment, but allowed myself to compromise my beliefs for my career. That's why I am committed now to a career in harmony with my beliefs.
I started Your Green Home Resource as a melding of my beliefs and my passions: we need to reduce our dependency on greenhouse-gas producing energy sources, we need to leave the world a better place for our children, and I want to help others. Your Green Home Resource educates and coaches families as to what steps they can take and supports them as they begin the journey to reducing their carbon footprint. We do not force anyone into a choice they are not comfortable with, and we do not judge if a family decides they are not ready to take a particular step at this time. It is a learning process, and one action leads to another.
YGHR is also a melding of two companies I enjoy selling for:
My background and my heart is in construction, and I am passionate about helping women tackle do-it-yourself projects on their own to understand and control the materials and methods and save money doing it. I do this as an Independent Consultant for Tomboy Tools.
But I also believe that what we put into our body and clean our houses with is vital to our health and the planet's health, so I also represent Shaklee as an Independent Consultant. As the first US company certified Climate Neutral, Shaklee is a company I can be proud to educate like-minded people about.
Better yet, Shaklee is a business I can pass on to my children some day - it doesn't end with me. So the passion I have for making the world a better place won't be the only thing I pass on - I can help them make money while they make the world a better place, too.
I don't support "greenwashing" - overstating the environmental benefits of a product or service, but I also don't expect people to go cold turkey and give up everything. Start slowly and try something new every 6 months, for example. Don't refuse to take the first step because the 100th step will be difficult. Take 99 and then see how bad number 100 will be.
And know I will be there with you, offering encouragement and advice as long as you need me.
