Press Release Body = April 14, 2006 (Abilene, KS ) Shaklee Corporation and its
network of 750,000 Distributors worldwide inaugurate the global environmental tree
planting campaign, A Million Trees. A Million DreamsT, on Earth Day 2006.
On Earth Day 2006 Shaklee will celebrate 50 years of environmental stewardship and
raise awareness of global warming, Shaklee Distributors will come together to
organize tree planting events in their local communities across the United States
and Canada to realize the company wide goal of planting one million trees.
Background: Shaklee will implement a tree planting campaign across the United States
and Canada, encouraging its 750,000 Distributors to organize tree planting events in
their respective communities. Inspired by the environmental visionary 2004 Nobel
Peace laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai and her Green Belt Movement, Shaklee has set a
goal to plant one million trees throughout North America, helping offset a
significant portion of the CO2 the company produces while raising awareness of
global warming. Shaklee donated $100,000 to support the Green Belt Movement in 2005
and will donate an additional $100,000 so that one million more trees can be planted
in Kenya.
Shaklee Corporation is the number one natural nutrition company in the United States
and has an impressive 50-year history as a pioneer in healthy living and a leader in
health and environmental issues. Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee began the company\'s
commitment to products that improve the health of people without harming the planet
when he founded the company in 1956. The company\'s vast array of product categories
includes nutritional supplements, home cleaning products, air and water purifiers,
plus beauty and skin care products that combine the best of nature and science.
Shaklee has a rich history of environmental stewardship and activism. Shaklee has
been active in the area of global warming since 1986 when the company funded a
research project to the Artic with explorer Will Steger to measure the impact of
global warming on the icecaps as well as research expeditions in 1989 and 1996 to
measure the acceleration of the melting icecaps. Continuing its strong commitment to
global warming, in 1989 Shaklee helped Sir Edmund Hillary\'s American Himalayan
Foundation plant some one million trees in Nepal. In 2000 Shaklee decided to take
steps to offset its CO2 emissions, with the objective of having a net zero impact on
global warming. As a result, Shaklee became the first company in the United States
to be certified Climate NeutralT by investing in fossil fuel reduction projects to
directly offset the amount of CO2 the company created. In 2002 Shaklee received the
U.S. EPA\'s International Climate Protection Award as well as the Environmental
Stewardship International Award from Social Accountability International for
leadership on global warming.
