Green Living is Smart Living ...

25 October 2007

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”

– Margaret Read

At Perfect Organics, there is certainly no shortage of inspiration, dedication, and commitment to creating incredibly luxurious and effective organic and vegan lifestyle products.  We are refreshed and inspired every time we reflect on Margaret Read’s quote regarding the power of individuals gathering to create change.  Last night in Washington, D.C., a group of engaged citizens congregated at Lofts 11, a new green development project located on 11^th St. NW, to tour the beautiful eco-friendly lofts and to listen to a panel of local environmentalists discuss the evolution of green living.  The founder of Perfect Organics, Debra Claire, sat along Philippe Cousteau, President of EarthEcho International, and Gail Montplaisir, President of Taurus Enterprise Group, and fielded questions from an audience committed to making environmentally responsible decisions.

As leaders in their respective fields, the information provided by Debra, Philippe, and Gail left the audience ready to act with their newly acquired knowledge. Whether it’s eliminating 1 minute off of shower time to save 7,000 gallons of water per month, using the organic, biodegradable, vegan & water-free Perfect Organics’ 3-in-1 Ultimate Body Wash to support the health of the user and the planet, or planting a green roof to lower energy costs and reduce stormwater runoff, the night was full of good questions and useful suggestions.

We look forward to participating in further symposiums … whether they are organized and advertised or small scale brainstorming sessions.  To share the sentiments of Philippe and our partners at EarthEcho International: “It’s not that you can make a difference, it’s that everything you do makes a difference.”
