Be Green in the Forest: Burt's Bees

The Forest Is Going Green!

More organizations, companies, businesses, schools, and other groups are beginning to think about their impact on the environment and are starting to take action towards becoming more sustainable. The Forest neighborhood would like to join these groups in an effort to make our community more environmentally responsible and to lessen our negative impact on our planet. This website will serve as a resource for green ideas and tips and as a center for communication among the Forest neighbors about how we, as individuals and as a community, can take steps to become more sustainable.

Burt's Bees

Burt's Bees has a truly awesome line of products. I use many of their numerous lotions, hair products, lip glosses, even acne treatments, and I'm more than satisfied with everything. I hate to sound like an infomercial, but thanks to Burt's Bees, my hair is softer, shinier, and healthier than it's ever been, and I can honestly say their shampoos and conditioners work better than any of the other products by big-name brands such as Herbal Essences, Pantene, Garnier Fructis... the list goes on. My skin and lips are soft and moisturized. Not to mention everything smells great!

But Burt's Bees is much more than just volumizing conditioner and sparkling pink chap-stick. Burt's Bees, the "Earth Friendly, Natural Personal Care Company," is committed to bettering the community and the environment. It serves as an example for other businesses, proving that it's possible to be both green and economically successful; the company sold over $250 million worth of products in 2006.

So if you're skeptical about the so-called "earth friendly" care products, Burt's Bees is a great place to start. I encourage you to check out the Burt's Bees website, read about their interesting history and their inspiring vision, and just browse around for some great, inexpensive, eco-friendly products!
