products, celebrated Earth Day on its Facebook page by giving away<br />
one of its organic mattress sets.<br />
Fans of the Cambridge, Ontario-based company were invited to<br />
post pictures of their old mattresses and explain why they were in<br />
need of a new bed. The winner was chosen in a random drawing held<br />
on Earth Day, April 22.<br />
“We have a healthy and growing community on Facebook and<br />
we asked them to pull back the covers and share why they needed<br />
a new bed,” said Ralph Rossdeutscher,<br />
Natura president.<br />
“In everything we<br />
do—from manufacturing<br />
to shipping<br />
to dreaming up<br />
new products—<br />
we practice<br />
the highest<br />
standards of<br />
sustainability.<br />
And we partner<br />
with companies<br />
who share our<br />
eco-philosophies<br />
to make it easier<br />
for everyone to make<br />
green, natural and organic<br />
choices.”<br />
