Roger Barnett, Making A Difference
Roger Barnett, owner and CEO of Shaklee, has a vision to “Make a Difference” in the lives of millions of families by providing a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone.
Shaklee teamed up with the recipient of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for the Environment, Wangari Maathai.
Wangari became the Global Ambassador for “A Million Trees, a Million Dreams” a Shaklee environmental campaign that raises awareness of global climate change and initiates efforts to plant trees in North America and Africa. Shaklee reached the “million trees planted in North America” goal this year and continues planting trees.
By taking care of the health of our families, we also make a difference in the health of the planet.
Through the sale of Gold Ambassador Mission PAKs, money is still being raised and trees are still being planted.
This year, Shaklee teamed up with Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner. Mr. Yunus established the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1983. He is “Banker to the Poor” giving micro loans to men and women to start businesses.
In 2007, Shaklee was recognized for its leadership in offsetting carbon emissions by creating renewable energy in Africa.
