Onondaga Nation and Brooklyn-based Ecologic Solutions Announce Green Partnership

Leave a comment

MAR 31, 2011 /RTPR/ — Brooklyn, NY — Onondaga Nation and Brooklyn-based Ecologic Solutions today announced a historic, Native American-green business partnership to boost the company’s efforts to rid workplaces of toxic cleaners and replace them with sustainable alternatives.

Under the terms of the partnership, Onondaga Nation (www.onondaganation.org) has agreed to become the second largest shareholder in EcoLogic Solutions (www.ecologicsolutions.com), a leading supplier of natural, plant-based cleaning supplies for restaurants, hotels, schools, office buildings, and other commercial users. EcoLogic Solutions will use the investment to create jobs and expand current operations, while developing new products and approaches to eliminate harmful cleaning supplies from workplaces.

“EcoLogic Solutions is a company that shares our goals of a more sustainable planet, and a better, more holistic way of doing business,” said Jake Edwards, member of the Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs. “This is the first time we’ve invested in a U.S.-based environmental firm. When you partner with Onondaga, you partner for life.”

“When I founded EcoLogic Solutions, I looked to Onondaga values and sustainability as paragons for our business,” said EcoLogic CEO Anselm Doering. “That’s why I’m honored, and humbled, to make in this announcement today. It’s the fulfillment of a dream within a dream.”

Based in the Brooklyn Navy Yard along with 30 other green businesses, EcoLogic Solutions manufactures soaps, detergents, degreasers, solvents, glass cleaners, disinfectants, and other earth-friendly cleaning supplies for the institutional marketplace using bio-based formulations that are readily biodegradable and non toxic to humans and aquatic life. The company, using groundbreaking technology and scientific advances, offers the most progressive, environmentally preferable commercial cleaners in the market today.

EcoLogic Solutions clients include Chipotle Mexican Grill, Whole Foods Markets, the Statue of Liberty, Mandarin Oriental Hotels, Mario Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group, the Durst Organization, and NBC Universal, among many others. It sells exclusively to wholesale markets at this time. EcoLogic Solutions’ products will be made available to Onondaga Nation citizens soon.

A sovereign nation on 7,300 acres south of Syracuse, Onondaga is a proud member of the Haudenosaunee (“People of the Long House”), an alliance of six Native American nations sometimes referred to as the Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations. Other members include the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora nations.

“The Onondaga Nation and its people have a unique spiritual, cultural, and historic relationship with the earth and the waters, which is embodied in
Gayanashagowa, the Great Law of Peace,” said Jake Edwards. “It is the duty of the Nation’s leaders to work for a healing of the earth, to protect it and pass it on to future generations. This partnership is about making a better world for the generations yet to come.”

Is There A Connection Between Housing Market Crash and Rising Medical Costs?

Leave a comment

As millions of American homeowners know, the housing market crash was fueled by inflated home values and bank loans that were high above the equity or actual value of “underwater” homes. According to Trisha Lotzer, JD., health-care attorney and CEO of Physis, Inc., a similar threat for banks, borrowers and owners of many of the nation’s medical, dental, optometry and veterinary practices must be averted.

Like residential real estate, medical practices may be marketed and sold by brokers. Brokers in the business of selling medical practices commonly charge 7-12% commission. The commission alone can add $80,000 to $2,000,000 to the purchase price, depending on the size of the facility–and drive up the bank note accordingly.

Like real estate agents, the job of the practice broker is to get the seller the highest selling price possible. Unlike real estate agents, however, brokers are often the only ones who value the practices they have for sale–giving them a built in incentive to inflate the value of practices and increase their commission. Ross Landreth, MBA, explains that the problem occurs when a practice is arbitrarily valued, purchased and financed at $1,500,000, but only has an actual fair market value (per USPAP approved valuation standards) of $850,000. This could mean that the practice does not cash-flow at $1,500,00 and that the new purchasers would have to raise the price of services in order to maintain profitability and pay back the bank note. This increase in the cost of health care does not increase the earnings of the practice owners or physicians but is passed along to patients and insurance providers.

Practice brokers often rely on the recent sale price of one practice in a particular speciality or location as the basis for assigning a value for other practices in that area. So, even if the broker resists the temptation to increase the selling price to increase the commission, the inflated value of one practice perpetuates the cycle. Thus, eventually, higher health care costs are necessary in all practices in the region in order to make them profitable enough to enable the owners to pay back the bank loans on the collectively inflated prices.

Changes quietly went into effect this month that may require those applying for SBA loans to submit an independent valuation.

Great New Website Reveals Showcases Weight Loss System that Works by Hypnosis!

Leave a comment

A fabulous new website has been launched that promises to reveal the ultimate system for weight loss. With the slogan “Undiscover Your Slender Beauty”HypnosisForLosingWeight.com is, as its name suggests, a site that showcases hypnosis as the effective method for weight loss.

The author of this incredible weight loss system is Simon Warner. Simon has explained the idea behind the website.

“Essentially I have created the site to offer my weight loss system – Make me thin! It is the ONLY system that will truly work for people who finally want to lose weight. I say “finally” because all of the other systems have failed them.”

HypnosisForLosingWeight.com contains lots of information and reveals how most of the usual plans don’t work.

“We all know that low fat food, low calorie or low carb diets don’t work.” Simon says. “My method does work and I am so sure of this that I offer a 100% guarantee. I am making the world thin, one by one!”

The system is so popular and compelling that it has even been the subject of a report on ABC’s “Good Morning America” when Judy Lederman spoke about using hypnosis for weight loss. She recounted how she went to a hypnotist as an alternative to the ineffective diets she had been on before and thus went from weighing 224 pounds to an incredible 129 pounds. This is sure proof that Hypnosis for weight loss really does work.

The system is delivered in eight CDs with each CD containing the techniques necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of becoming slim. The technique includes NLP and hypnosis teaching. The clients will get the same techniques they would if they had in person hypnotherapy with Simon yet at a fraction of the cost necessary for such consultations. The system comes with comprehensive instructions in the way of a manual.

Of course it is not the first time we have seen NLP being used in self help guides but its surely the first time we have seen it put together with hypnosis techniques like this in such a comprehensive manner.

The guarantee offers the customers a 60 day trial period. If they do not see a difference inside this period they can send the system back and get a full refund. This truly is the weight loss system people have to use. They can get slim for good!

Motorcycle Riders Choosing Greener Solutions Today

Leave a comment

[Grants Pass, Oregon] – March 31, 2011 – Many fans of motorcycles these days are making their own contribution to a greener world simply by virtue of the fact that they are choosing to ride a bike over a car, truck or other large vehicle. Due to their size, motorcycles naturally consume less power and this much is obvious to most people, but the fact that they also have greener options available to help enhance their reduced impact on the world around them might not be. One way that today’s riders are choosing to make a difference happens to be in the type of motorcycle batteries they decide to use, as well as the types of chargers that they employ for these types of batteries. By making certain choices, they are able to reduce the amount of effect they, as a rider, have on the ecology that they are a part of. The simple decision to use more environmentally sound batteries is making a big difference that might not even be noticed for quite a long time, but is definitely going to have an impact on the planet. Now that today’s biker fans have so many options, deciding on the best possible choices can certainly have quite a large effect.

One thing that many are coming to learn is that they can help the environmental causes they care about by choosing low pollution and low waste decisions. Caring about ecological issues is something that is not uncommon among bike fans since they are often out in natural areas with their bikes and thus come into more frequent contact with the environment around them than a typical car driver might. Even a fairly undramatic change, such as switching to a rechargeable motorcycle battery can make a huge impact on the amount of waste that is produced. Especially since a single nickel metal hydride battery can last as much as one thousand times longer than an alkaline battery. This is a very large change, but it is not expensive to make so it makes sense for many bike riders today.

Leave a comment

ANACORTES, WA, MARCH 31, 2011: The award winning horticulturists Sharon and Andrew Cooper from Queensland, Australia go public with their top secrets on how to easily grow a vegetable garden that provides maximum nutrition at a minimum price. Their newly released book, Our Vegetable Garden Secrets, is a simple, practical and complete source of information that provides all you need to know about preparing soil, caring for plants, protecting from disease and pests, and as a result, growing vegetables that are 40-60% more nutritious than their supermarket alternative.

Our Vegetable Garden Secrets has the support of the highly regarded Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, and in his foreword its executive director Professor Robert Graham writes: “Our Vegetable Garden Secrets marries the joy of gardening and the benefits of growing your own produce – a real plus for anyone wishing to take control of their health and help reduce the risk of contracting serious illness”. A portion of the proceeds of the book will go to support the Foundation’s life-saving research.

As parents, as well as people touched by serious illness in their own family, Sharon and Andrew Cooper share the universal concerns about nutrition, risks such as obesity and diabetes and the effects of chemicals on future generations. “We want to share hundreds of strategies, perfected over years of professional experience, for everything from soil preparation and natural pest control to the selection of your Superfoods for planting,” says Sharon. “We show you how to grow nutritious food without special tools or ingredients and how doing this reduces your chances of heart attack, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity and other degenerative diseases ”.

This book gives practical ways to protect the health of your loved ones by reducing chemicals and increasing antioxidants in their food. Gardeners of every skill level can benefit from Our Vegetable Garden Secrets, but the most benefits will be reaped by the first time gardeners. They have to make a lot of choices, need to learn a lot about gardening as their plants grow, get sick, need their attention, and the amount of information can be just overwhelming at first. Now they can confidently follow the path that Sharon and Andrew drafted for them, and get all necessary information from one source, on time, and on budget. With over 130 color images Sharon also provides free garden designs and after-purchase support to her clients.
