Behind the Headlines

A story from businesswire.com, giving “all purpose” a new meaning:

MINNEAPOLIS–When Cookie severely fractured her leg, Mary Jane Martinez fashioned a cast from a Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day All-Purpose Cleaner bottle. Martinez, a happy farmer from the Missouri Ozarks, is hero of the mantra “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” Eight weeks after the break, the Mrs. Meyer’s cast came off to reveal a well-healed leg. Good thing, too, as Cookie’s kid is due in just a few weeks.

The real Mrs. Meyer, Thelma, is dedicated to creating earth-friendly and cruelty-free household cleaners containing plants found in her garden in Iowa. The company’s entire line of aromatherapeutic household cleansers is hard-working, yet gentle on the earth.

By the way, why is there snow in the Ozarks in this picture?
