DOT-COM OF THE WEEK
BSA’s dot-com of the week: greencoach.emaginegreen.com/KarenPeltin
Have you tried to imagine your family and home with a “greener” lifestyle, but just don’t know where to start or don’t have the tools to get started? www.emagineGreen.com,
a company dedicated to turning curiosity about protecting the environment into positive action, is a great place to start. The woman-owned company, with a team of greenCoaches, is committed to helping moms find simple ways to make changes toward a healthier home and environment. After extensively researching companies and testing products that are environmentally sensitive, the "greenCoaches" offer the products (with their “seal of approval”) in one place. In order to offer a more personal and educational experience, Karen Peltin, a greenCoach whose focus is educating Austin, offers one-hour workshops that cover the basics about how our daily routines impact the environment and how each person can make a difference. The workshops help women to see and feel the products tested by emagineGreen, so they walk away with the education, tools, and inspiration to begin their more "eco-friendly" journey.
