Press Release Body = Pleasanton, CA, March 12 - Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S. and the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral certification and totally offset its CO2 emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment, has initiated an educational campaign surrounding National Geographic award-winning polar explorer, Will Steger and his Arctic expedition. The expedition, which runs from now until early May, records the impact of changing weather on the Inuit, an Arctic-dwelling people. Local Shaklee entrepreneurs are taking Steger\'s message to educators and providing free expedition maps so students can follow expedition progress. "Long before climate change received worldwide attention, Will Steger and Shaklee nurtured a deep respect and interest in the environment," said Shaklee Chairman and CEO Roger Barnett. "This is the fourth Steger expedition supported by Shaklee. We remain a long-term partner because of our mutual interest in protecting the health of people and the planet." Added Cindy McAsey Abilene, KS, "By raising awareness of this expedition and providing free maps, we hope teachers and students can easily follow Will Steger\'s journey and at the same time, learn how they can make a difference in our own community."
