Sublime Mat

According to Newsweek, over 65 million people suffer from lower back and body pain. Back and
lower body pain is one of the leading causes to doctor visits with almost 80% of adults
experiencing this pain some point in their lives. Standing in a stationary position on hard surface
for extended periods of time causes muscles to tighten, constrict, and reduces normal blood flow.
When this happens, the extra pressure can create muscle spasms, discomfort, pain, and fatigue.
In most instances, however, lower back pain can be linked to a general cause, such as a muscle
strain, or a specific condition, such as degenerative disc disease or a lumbar herniated disc.
How can an Anti-Fatigue Floor Mat can help treat Lower Back Pain?

Anti-fatigue mats can help prevent the fatigue that causes muscles strains and spasms. These
strains and spasms can lead to irritated nerves and pain. Most governmental health agencies (eg
OSHA) around the world mandate anti-fatigue mats for workers who are required to stand for long periods of time on hard flooring.

Proven benefits of Anti-Fatigue:
University of Michigan Center of Ergonomics study involved 14 participants who were required to stand on various floor surfaces for a long duration. Based on this research, the participants who stood on hard flooring (concrete, wood), for long periods of time suffered significant levels of fatigue and discomfort in their legs, lower back and body. The participants who stood on anti
fatigue mats, thicker than 3/8’, were able to reduce the level of fatigue and discomfort by as much as 50%.

CLEANWAVE® SANITIZING WANDS

Independent testing at a nationally recognized antimicrobial testing laboratory confirms Verilux CleanWave Sanitizing Wands effectively eliminate H1N1 and MRSA viruses on surfaces. During testing, MRSA and H1N1 culture organisms were exposed to the CleanWave sanitizing light for 1 second at a distance of 22mm (0.86 inches) and showed a 99.99% reduction in MRSA and a 98.7% reduction of the H1N1 virus. The H1N1 culture organism showed an additional reduction of 99.98% after a 5 second exposure.

Verilux, an innovator in healthy lighting products since 1956, has been in development on the CleanWave sanitizing system since 2006. CleanWave Sanitizing Wands utilize chemical-free UV-C light to eliminate up to 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and dust mite and flea eggs on otherwise difficult to sanitize surfaces.


Chemical-free, odorless UV-C light penetrates the membranes of biological pollutants and disrupts their reproductive capabilities. Used properly, the Verilux CleanWave Sanitizing Wands eliminates up to 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, dust mite and flea eggs, and other organisms on surfaces, without the use of cleansers and disinfectants.

Project Earth h2o


Project Earth H2O has created reusable water bottles (BPA-free, stainless steel). The company (http://www.projectearthh2o.com/) was founded with the goal of eliminating single-use water bottles (many of which have been linked to a toxic, potential cancer-causing chemical called BPA). Brian Denton realized something needed to be done in response to the nation’s insatiable thirst for bottled water. The thought of some 38 billion single-use bottles ending up in landfills each year lead him to create a reusable stainless steel bottle that’s intended to last. The bottles, which hold 27 ounces, come in four colors; blue (Ocean), silver (Air), green (Earth) and now pink (Get Pink). They are sold online for $17.99 -- that includes free S&H and a sport cap.

The bottles fit perfectly in backpacks so moms can send their kids to school with a drink that doesn't produce waste.

$2 from every "Get Pink" bottle sold goes breast cancer research (this is a year-round effort). $2 of every Ocean, Earth and Air bottle is also donated to non-profit environmental & humanitarian charities dedicated to making a difference.
