A Wild Soap Bar Offsets Its Carbon Emissions
Manor, TX., February 28, 2007 /SOAPWIRE/ -- A Wild Soap Bar announced today that it offset 100% of its manufacturing and shipping related carbon emissions for 2007 with Carbonfund.org, the country’s leading carbon reduction and offset organization. This important step highlights A Wild Soap Bar’s commitment to be a leader in the handmade soap manufacturing community. “In addition to reducing, recycling, and re-using on a daily basis, we plan to offset all of our carbon emissions each year” says Maggie Hanus, soap bartender and owner of A Wild Soap Bar. “Small businesses like ours can make significant contributions and we’re proud to be part of the solution to global warming.”
A Wild Soap Bar is a small family business born in 1995 when Maggie taught herself to make cold process soap in the kitchen of the log cabin she and her husband built. Combining her love of native plants with an interest in aromatherapy and herbal medicine, Maggie and her family create unique natural soaps and bath products for retail and wholesale customers across the nation. They choose not to use synthetic fragrances, artificial colorants, or other harmful chemicals in their products, setting A Wild Soap Bar apart from many so-called “natural” soaps on the market today.
A Wild Soap Bar’s mission and passion is to provide you with real, truly natural handmade soaps that are safe for all living things and a joy to use while raising awareness of the environmental necessity, economic value, natural beauty, and therapeutic properties of wild native plants. To help accomplish these goals, the company donates a portion of its profits each year to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center and to United Plant Savers.
