Rhino Shield
Rhino-Shield is an affordable and long lasting alternative to latex paint, stucco, and vinyl siding on your home. It has always been a green, eco-friendly product. From the beginning, the ceramic coating was designed to be non-toxic, low-odor, and safe for skin contact. There are other reasons Rhino-Shield is considered “Green”. Our ceramic top-coat is a low-e thermal barrier that may reduce your energy consumption, and because of our mil-thickness, Rhino-Shield can be used to encapsulate lead paint. Rhino-Shield simply lasts much longer than traditional paint. Any product that extends the life cycle (by fifty percent or more) beyond the industry average is green. The reason is all products need raw materials and energy for manufacturing, and then more energy and pollution to transport. Long lasting products mean less remanufacturing and less transportation over time. Go with Rhino Shield Ceramic Coating and NEVER PAINT AGAIN. ph: 810-772-1800

Livingston Talk
LivingstonTalk.com was started by two veteran Livingston County journalists — Buddy Moorehouse and Maria Stuart — after they were laid off from their jobs at the local newspaper. The website was founded as a place for conversations like the ones we take part in around our dining room tables or in our favorite coffee shops and watering holes. These conversations are full of lively give-and-take on a variety of subjects, from professional sports to city hall to the White House to the latest community theater production and the street program in our neighborhood. These conversations — lively, respectful, fun, provocative, enlightening, informative, entertaining, and sometimes maddening — are both grass roots and global; the notion of who can write and publish on issues of common interest has been upended by the Internet. LivingstonTalk.com is both excited and honored to be part of the future of community journalism. It used to be that covering life in a community was an activity only for those with the means required to publish, which included a printing plant and complicated distribution system. Today, bloggers (or citizen journalists as they are often referred to) regularly break news and blaze trails, writing about local issues, their various units of government, community events, and their lives. Technology has tossed the keys to the journalism kingdom to regular folks armed with laptops and cell phones who, in turn, reach out across the community to educate, inform, entertain and pull the heart strings of their friends and neighbors. We hope you find LivingstonTalk to be such a place, and we welcome you to take part in the conversation, through your own blog and/or your interaction with other bloggers on this site.

Shaklee, Jodi Cook, Independent Distributor
Shaklee Believes in Living in Harmony with Nature® Since we take from Nature to create the best natural health products, we feel we must give back in equal part. That is why we created one of the first biodegradable, nontoxic cleaning products in the U.S. That is why we became the first company in the world to be Climate Neutral certified to fully offset our carbon emissions, resulting in a zero-impact on the environment. That is why we partnered with 2004 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Dr. Wangari Maathai to help plant a million trees in North America. We believe that by taking care of the health of our families in our homes, we also can make a difference in the health of the planet. We believe in cleaners that don't leave behind more toxins than the toxins they're supposed to clean. Seems like you always have to choose. Either you have cleaners that clean off everything, including the earth's topsoil. Or you have nice, sweet, eco-friendly cleaners (using the term loosely) that don't do diddly. Now you don't have to make a choice. Get Clean shows dirt no mercy. Safe for You, Your Home, and Your Planet™
