6 — FLORENCE GREEN FAIR | APRIL 29, 2015 T HINK G REEN — 2015 G REEN F AIR E XHIBITORS All Natural Pest Elimination — All Natural Pest Elimination is one of Oregon’s leading nat- ural pest control companies. Our commitment to environmental safety, quality and customer service has never been stronger. When we started, we weren’t satisfied with the efficacy or safeness of the existing products available for wood protection and pest elimination. We want- ed to be sure about the products that we brought into your home, as well as the products that our team handled every single day. We developed our own line of products that offer safer and more effective pest control and wood production. We guarantee our Integrative Pest Management strategy. Beauty By Delivery Day Spa — Our little day spa in Florence is a private, serene get- away. Adhering to a high standard, we offer many luxury spa services. Our philosophy is simple: natural is better. We will be offering spe- cials for vegan pedicures, organic facials and Zyto Scans, available for anyone wanting a one-on-one consultation. The Zyto Scan is a biofeedback communication machine that gets signals from the body to decide what essential oils and supplements your body is asking for. Casey Innovations — Easy. Economical. Ecological. Detergent helps water clean fabrics. Through a chemical process, most detergents make surfaces more susceptible to water and increase pH levels, making it easier for the water to remove dirt from fabrics. The downside is that most of the chemical ingredients in detergents are toxic to both your health and the environment. The SmartKlean Laundry Ball uses an innovative technology designed to clean fabrics through a physical process. On a molecular level, the water is entirely affected by the laundry ball’s special mineral ceramics, offering a natural and powerful wash. City of Florence — The Greener Florence Award program offered by the City of Florence seeks to recognize businesses and community groups who choose to operate sustainably by reducing their waste through reuse, compost- ing, recycling and promoting and educating the public about their efforts. For 2015, Morgan’s Country Kitchen, Real Food Co-op, Florence Food Share, Helping Hands and the Siuslaw Genealogical Society were honored for their accomplishments. These top business and community organizations take being green beyond their peers. They repurpose material, buy sustainable products, conserve energy and creatively think of more ways to positively impact the environment. Coos Bay Toyota staff serve with a reputa- tion as experts, dependable and accommodat- ing. Toyota car dealer standards are set by experienced sales, service and financing staff. These men and women define quality for Coos Bay dealership staff. They know the area’s economy, driving demands, service and cli- mate.
