Save the Earth! by Bea Osmeña

By | Green | One Comment

I received this article from Tita Bettina written by her daughter, Bea.

Bea is 18 years old and a passionate environmentalist.  She will take up Environmental Science as her minor and major in Management engineering at the Ateneo next month. 

It is so nice to see children and young adults who are very conscious about environmental issues at an early age…  and as Bea said it, “SPREAD THE WORD and demonstrate it.”  

Be an example to others…It takes only ourselves to start it even in our own little ways and maybe everyone else will follow…SAVE THE EARTH!

New Bug Controllers from Messy Bessy!

By | Great Inventions, Green | One Comment

Because you asked for it!

 wr.jpegbugcontrollers2messy.jpg

 

 

Our INSECT REPELLENT is a special lab-tested non-sticky, non-stinky formula.  We used Andiroba or Carapa Tree Nut Oil from Brazil.  This oil magically suppresses the appetite of the insects, and therefore they won’t feel like snacking on you!!!


You can spray this on your skin, clothes, furniture and around the home.  Feel free to spray it on table tops to ward of flies, too!


It comes in 50ml, 250ml and 1-liter refill.



Our ANTI-ROACH SPRAY is a potent patchouli oil-based spray that can help you rid of your roaches once and for all!  You can spray them directly onto the bugs (if you must) or around areas where you suspect they hang out.


It comes in 450ml and 2-liter refill.

Recyclable Bags

By | Green, Household Tips | 10 Comments

I have collected quite a few recyclable bags which have become very useful.  They come in different shapes, colors and sizes so depending on where I am going or where I will shop, I choose one that will fit… 

This is my most used recyclable bag because I use it to do my groceries, I have around 35 pieces of this.  I keep 3 or 4 pieces in my car so just in case I do last minute or emergency grocery, it is in the car

This is a very popular one. Everyone seems to always call my attention when they see me using this bag.  People are amazed that it is made out of recycled newspapers – what a clever idea!

Thanks to Tito Rudy and Tita Monina for this one! I love it especially because of the saying on the bag and it benefits a livelihood program!

Messy Bessy by H.O.U.S.E.

By | Giving Back, Green | 5 Comments

Heart2Heart is proud to feature behind the scenes of Messy Bessy…… aside from it being environmentally friendly, it also helps 8 young adults. Messy Bessy is only one of the projects of H.O.U.S.E. which is a foundation set up by my sister, Krie.  I am looking forward to more of her projects because she is very creative..so watch out for more things to come from H.O.U.S.E 

img_1891.jpg 

Here is a short background of the foundation from Krie:

H.OU.S.E. was built to be a group of businesses that are run by young adults who are disadvantaged (formerly abused, impoverished, neglected and/or incarcerated) img_1034.jpg

Established in 2007 and has since generated over 4,000 hours of work experience for the 8 beneficiaries, all of whom are young adults from the Virlanie Foundation (www.virlanie.org).  Virlanie is the largest non-sectarian child-caring nonprofit organization in Manila.img_2753.jpg

The first enterprise of H.OU.S.E. is Messy Bessy Cleaners, Inc., established in November 2007. (www.messybessy.com)img_0634.jpg

Messy Bessy Cleaners, Inc. is a manufacturer and wholesaler of eco-friendly, nontoxic household cleaners.  Currently, we carry 18 different products offered in over 10 distribution points.img_0841.jpg

Profits from Messy Bessy are funelled back into the beneficiaries — through (1) salaries and (2) personal development programs which include home schooling, art therapy and the like.  Home schooling for 3 of our beneficiaries/employees started in March of this year.img_1646.jpg

The upcoming enterprises of H.OU.S.E. include the following:  Daisy’s Daydream all-natural Ice Cream and Misis Linis, a lower end line of green cleaners to be distributed through women’s livelihood projects in depressed areas.

HOUSE is a social enterprise — a for-profit venture with social goals.  Although our businesses are designed to sustain the project, we are still hoping for  donations to jumpstart our development programs.  We are in particular looking for:

(1) A space with affordable rent for Safe HOuSE — a center that holds our kitchen, office, storage and School HOuSE.  

(2) kitchen supplies, office furniture, text books, books

(3) old clothes, uniforms, aprons

Recycle Waste

By | Green | One Comment

I visited my old school, Assumption San Lorenzo,  a few weeks ago and was so happy to see their trash cans 

dsc_9241.JPGdsc_9242.JPGassumptionrecyclable.jpg  

I noticed that the Ayala Malls/Ayala  group is very active in environmental concerns, they have Recyclable fairs, I saw booths set up in their malls promoting ays to save Mother Earth, then of course their waste bins are properly marked and placed in their malls04172009255.jpgshowloveearth.jpg

I visited my Mom’s backyard and was surprised to see this! Hers is even more specific…SHE IS THE BEST! 🙂

I wish someone would sell proper trash cans with labels already and color coded for household use…. I WILL BUY!! or maybe I should make it and sell it 🙂  Meantime, I will follow my Mom and try to device a system for my home… 

It all begins with us…and imagine if each one of us does our small part in saving our environment, then our planet will be a better place to live in…for us and for future generations to come

Printing Emails

By | Green | 2 Comments

I received an email from my friend and I thought it was a very nice touch and a good reminder.  I hardly print anything now and keep my files all on soft copy in my computer.  I only print when really necessary

Let’s Begin with One!

By | Green, What's New at Starbucks? | 2 Comments

ed09_poster.jpgdsc_3006.JPGdsc_3007.JPG

Starbucks made a photo backdrop for their eco-friendly customers to pose with their tumbler and take their photos with hoping that in turn, customers will influence their own circle of friends to include the habit of bringing their tumbler for their coffee to their usual Earth friendly To Do lists.  TAKE A PICTURE AND SHOW THE WORLD!!

This photo backdrop will  be available at the following Starbucks store locations: 6750, RCBC Plaza, Robinson’s Place Ermita, ABSCBN, Metrowalk, Boni High Street (next to Pancake House)
