SEA Lab Believes it's Easy to be Simple Green
Partnership with Simple Green is Announced
Redondo Beach, CA (PRWEB) March 31, 2005
Giancarlo Cetrulo, director of the SEA Lab, a program of the nonprofit Los Angeles Conservation Corps, is pleased to announce a partnership between the South Bay aquatic center and the socially responsible cleaning products company Simple Green.
“A huge part of our overall mission is to protect our environment” stated Linda Gamberg, director of marketing for the Los Angeles Conservation Corps. “Simple Green has an incredible line of environmentally friendly cleaning products as well as a community - minded social conscience. We’re proud to be associated with them.”
This partnership was initiated by Bob Meistrell, co-founder of Body Glove, which like Simple Green is a locally operated company. “These two wonderful organizations, the SEA Lab and Simple Green, have a similar passion for the preservation of our ecosystem. I’m happy I was able to make the introductions,” stated Meistrell.
Bruce FaBrizio, founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Simple Green, expressed similar respect and admiration for the SEA Lab. “Few people realize the extent of the SEA Lab’s Herculean efforts. Their heroic community service impacts more than 30,000 people each year. We look forward to joining forces to make sure as many people as possible learn what they can do to keep our environment clean and healthy,” stated FaBrizio.
About the SEA Lab, a program of the Los Angeles Conservation Corps
The SEA Lab is a hands-on coastal science education center in Redondo Beach that offers free and low cost programs for children of all ages to enjoy. College-aged students trained by the Los Angeles Conservation Corps lead the activities, including beach explorations, touch tank tours and interactive classroom programs. The SEA Lab extends its programs into the community through summer camp programs, community service projects (including beach clean-ups) and the Traveling Tide Pool mobile exhibit.
In addition to its youth programs, the SEA Lab also conducts coastal conservation activities such as rescuing marine animals trapped in the saltwater intake systems of local power plants, hosting marine-related research projects and replanting coastal bluffs with native plants.
The Los Angeles Conservation Corps, the largest nonprofit youth corps in the nation, received initial funding to operate the SEA Lab from Southern California Edison. With that support scheduled to end in 2006, LACC is striving to develop a broader funding base for this valuable program that educates more than 30,000 young people each year.
