“Green” Radar
Going Green
You want to care for your family, home & the environment by making positive choices in your life. When I was deciding on a business to work part-time from home I took this into consideration. Watkins puts it’s “Green” (money) where it’s mouth is. Their commitment to practice “green” manufacturing is in their DNA. Watkins has been a pioneer in natural living since 1868, using the finest natural ingredients. They continue their commitment to their customers & the environment by reducing waste & implementing processes to conserve energy.
