The company that I partner with in my business, Shaklee, has partnered with CleanHub for an Earth Day 2024 focus that will help reduce plastics in the ocean. By working with CleanHub, it will ensure the safe collection and recovery of ocean-bound plastic. The goal is to collect 15,000 lbs of plastic waste – and that is equivalent to 750,000 plastic bottles.
CleanHub collects, tracks, and recovers ocean-bound plastic by implementing waste management systems where they don’t yet exist. Tod date, they have recovered over 18.4 million lbs of plastic.
Plastics in the Ocean
Every minute, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into our ocean, harming marine life and biodiversity, and hindering the ocean’s natural ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Ocean Plastic
CleanHub’s mission is to end plastic pollution by building a collective solution to the plastic problem and that includes partnerships such as with Shaklee for Earth Day. There are also educational efforts and help in local coastal communities. To date over 6,000,000 kilograms of plastic waste have been collected, and CleanHub has partnered with more than 300 brands helping them reduce plastic and collect more than they use.
Every year Shaklee has a partnership or an independent goal to make an impact on Earth Day. This is in addition to their efforts throughout the year as they manufacture and distribute products that help the environment in measurable ways, and other independent efforts such as planting a million trees or being the first company to become climate neutral (a bid deal!).
Earth Day 2024
For Earth Day 2024, Shaklee has created a few ways that distributors and customers can help the brand reach their 15,000 pound goal. These include purchases of specific products and making donations of $1 to help collect 2 pounds of plastic and $5 to help collect 10 pounds of plastic.
For over 40 years, we here at AntiAgingByDesign.com have been celebrating Earth Day with Shaklee and also helping ourselves and family have less chemicals in our personal environment which also helps our local area as well as contribute to helping the planet.
We do this every time we clean with products that don’t pollute the environment, that save the waste of plastic bottles and containers, and that help us breathe the air around us a lot easier. I have not had to go into the cleaning aisle of any type of store to purchase cleaning products in over 40 years (and when I get near that aisle it is not fun to breathe in those toxins). So it feels good to celebrate Earth day every day!
In 2024 Shaklee is helping keep plastics out of the ocean. Since 1960 Shaklee has helped keep plastics out of landfills in a very big way with just one product, Basic H. The other cleaning products are concentrated as well, but take a look at how ONE 16 ounce bottle of concentrated Basic H2 can keep 5,824 plastic bottles out of the landfills and/or ocean.
Basic H2 is a safe, high-performing, multi-purpose (over a hundred ways to clean and probably more as I have been saying this for 40 years and I’m sure people have discovered more ways!), home cleaner. It has the distinction of being the first official Earth Day Cleaner back in 1970.
Basic H2 is made of natural ingredients and will help keep your home more toxin and chemical free. There is no fragrance or fumes. The original formula (Basic H) has since been squared in strength to make the new Basic H2. It cleans very effectively, and I can’t imagine finding a less expensive cleaning product that also cleans so effectively. It will clean delicate items and it’s also a powerful degreaser. It penetrates dirt so if you spray Basic H2 on something like food on your counter that would take some heavy wiping to remove, and let it sit a couple minutes, the mess will wipe easily away.
I use this fantastic product every single day throughout my home. I can truly say I am living Earth Day every day!
