Celine McKay the co owner of the Sustain Eco Store spoke to the Club on January 31 about her passion, environmentalism and detoxing life.

Her message included some practical ways they we can make a difference in our own homes.

1. You don't have to do everything all at once   Ease into it.

2. Focus on areas of the home where you spend the most time   ie your mattress can contain fire retardants that effect your sleep

3. Limit the use of Frangrance filled deodorants, lotions, laundry soap,all purpose cleaners and dish soap

4. use essentials oils for a healthier life

5. Work on eliminating your use of plastics

 

We have completed another successful well project in Malawi which will provide water to a village of 300 people. These are all life altering events for the people of the area saving them hours daily that were spent getting potable water and in prevention of water borne diseases. Below are some pictures of the completion of the well.
