<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>I love game changers, especially when they are eco-friendly, solve sustainability issues, and cut down on the mountains of plastic bottles discarded every single day.</p>
<p>I am speaking of the freshly launched <a href="http://myreplenish.com/" target="_self">Replenish – Rethink the Bottle</a>. Each biodegradable, reusable bottle is fitted with a "Concentrate Pod", filled with 98% plant-based household cleaner concentrate.</p>
<p>Just add water, again and again, at least 4 reuses for every Concentrate Pod, until the concentrate is gone. Keep the bottle, toss the earth-friendly Pod, and order more – scented with lavender, lemon, or green tea.</p>
<p>Replenish's goal is to eliminate 1 billion bottles from landfills. The product is manufactured in the USA.</p>
<p>Entrepreneurship brain power going in the right direction.<a href="http://clemans.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341ca67e53ef014e867cffce970d-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="A" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341ca67e53ef014e867cffce970d image-full" src="http://clemans.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341ca67e53ef014e867cffce970d-800wi" title="A" /></a> <br /><br /></p></div>
