EPA Studies Show Indoor Pollution Much Higher
Than Outdoor Pollution
Since 1950, 70,000 new chemicals have been
invented, dispersed and allowed into our
environment. Only a fraction of these chemicals
have been tested for toxicity. We are by default
conducting a massive clinical toxicology trial
and our children and their children are the
experimental animals.

• Allergies (Asthma Respiratory)
• Birth Defects
• Cancer (Leukemias)

• Question What Is A Climate Neutral Enterprise?
• A company that has eliminated its total impact
  on the Earths climate by reducing
• and offsetting its Green House Gas Emissions.
• Question How does a company become certified
  Climate Neutral?

  conservation measures
• throughout the entire company.
• Conduct a comprehensive inventory of CO2
  emissions of our entire company
• operations Dock to Dock.
• Our total CO2, or Green House Gas Emission total
  footprint, was 25,000 tons.

Roger BarnettPresident/CEO Shaklee Corporation
Our new owner, Roger Barnett is the epitome of
social responsibility. Roger is keenly committed
to the environment. He sees it as a powerful
brand to the Shaklee name and how it
differentiates us from other companies.  As a
young man he lived and studied in Kenya, and saw
for himself some of the environmental challenges
occurring there. He is very interested in all
environmental issues and the history of Shaklees
environmental commitment.   In keeping with his
passion for the environment, and Shaklees
history of environmental responsibility, he has
invited a true heroine and Nobel Peace Prize
winner Wangari Maathai to speak at our 2005
national conference in Chicago.

In Harmony With Nature

Over a hundred years ago Henry Thoreau
said It is true that a corporation has no
conscience but a corporation with a philosophy,
plus committed, conscientious and compassionate
men and women is a corporation with a
conscience. The good environment of our planet
is crucial this is not a dress rehearsal! There
is NO fate waiting to be revealed   What we do
NOW will determine the fate of our planet.
In the moment of commitment, the universe
conspires to assist you. - Goethe
Our commitment to caring for the environment and
wellness is a 50 year commitment, started by Dr.
Shaklee and continued today by Roger Barnett. It
important to the branding of the Shaklee name. It
is WHO WE ARE! It is what we stand for.
