Soaring Heart is proud to support our state's efforts to implement fees on carbon polluters. On November 6th our voters have a chance to actually do something about climate change - right now during our lifetimes. At Soaring Heart we have always believed we need to find ways to reduce toxins in our households and do whatever we can to make a healthier planet. By building our beds without plastics or poly fabrics, by offering 20 year mattress warranties and services to rebuild or revitalize your mattresses - we are doing our part to reduce waste and harmful carbon emissions.
While our efforts may not seem like much - Initiative 1631 now offers us all a way to scale up and fund some long overdue investments in carbon reduction. We know this vote will be close - and that big oil is spending millions in advertising dollars right now to confuse voters. Meanwhile we believe the issue is crystal clear - we ALL must do something to both live healthier and reduce our impact on the planet's health.

Quarantined? Sheltered in Place? Home with the kids and looking for things to do? Here's a couple quick tips to help everyone sleep better - starting tonight:
1) Air your bedding. When cherry trees blossom its a great reminder to hang a temporary clothes line and air your winter bedding.
2) Do a thorough launder of your mattress pads, dust mite covers, pillow liners. Flip the mattress and catch up with those dust bunnies hiding under the bed.
3) Check your labels! C'mon - how long have you really had those bed pillows?
We green consumers may be a small portion of the economy - but we are growing and we can appreciate how nuts the rest of the economy can be. Our kids can teach us not to use plastic straws, or to avoid one use plastics at the grocery store - but who teaches us not to purchase a 300 lb plastic mattress? (How many thousands of recycled straws would that be?!)
