The contest, now in its second year, is part of the larger Purex Saves Green program that has raised a total of more than $65,000 for Earth Day Network, a non-profit organization that seeks to grow and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable planet. The Purex Saves Green campaign is sponsored by Purex(R) Natural Elements(TM) laundry detergent, the first major laundry detergent recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency's "Design for the Environment" program (http://www.epa.gov/dfe). Over the past two months, more than 300,000 consumers visited PurexSavesGreen.com to submit original, environmentally-themed tote bag designs, learn more about what they can do at home to preserve the environment, share their own tips for eco-friendly living and bid on a selection of celebrity-designed tote bags auctioned to benefit Earth Day Network. Celebrities who created designs for the auction include Marcia Gay Harden, Martha Stewart, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Tamara Tunie, Ed Begley, Jr., Paul Shaffer and Tom Bergeron and his daughter.
"Our consumers, like all of us at Purex, want to do what they can to help preserve our environment," says Jeffrey Huffman, senior brand manager of Purex(R) products. "We launched the Purex Saves Green program to show them where to start and to create a platform where they could share green tips and information with others. Two years later, we're proud and inspired by the level of participation, and delighted to have raised significant funds for this essential cause."
Jeff Sadowski, a resident of Brookfield, Wisconsin, is a life-long artist whose work has been featured in galleries in Wisconsin, Illinois and California. His style is "pop-surrealist," which means that his paintings focus on imaginative, fantasy icons and pop-culture. Much of his work reflects memories from his childhood. While Jeff works in acrylics, his use of deep, rich color gives his paintings the appearance of oils. He has created numerous music album covers and been published in two editions of Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art. One of his paintings was shown in the Charles Allis Museum in Milwaukee. To find out more about Jeff and to view his fine art, visit www.jeffsadowskiart.com.
Jeff, his wife, Michele, and son, Jon, learned about the Purex Saves Green tote bag design contest from an ad in their local newspaper. Jon, a car enthusiast, is a longtime fan of smart(R) cars and encouraged his dad to enter the contest in hopes of winning one for the family. "We're all excited, but Jon is over the moon," Jeff reports. "My wife and I think using products such as Purex(R) Natural Elements(TM) is a great way to teach him about the importance of protecting the environment. We've also enjoyed spending time on the Purex Saves Green site learning about what else we can do at home to help preserve our precious planet."
