Our Mantra and Vision
I once met Guy Kawasaki, who said that every business should have a mantra because
missions are boring and long winded. Well, our mantra is simple:
to make positive changes in people’s lives, one house at a time.
And together, you and me, we will change the way real estate industry uses
plastic.
Cheers,

Who is EcoJoe?
 The centuries old practice of
burying a statue of St. Joseph on real estate for sale is reputed to enlist the saint’s
assistance in finding a buyer. Before Joseph became the patron saint of real estate, he was
Jesus’s foster father on earth who taught Jesus the trade of carpentry. He always saw to it
that Jesus was protected and well housed.
The tradition is about trust, belief and sincerity, not greedy intentions to make more
money in a real estate transaction. Today, thousands of home sellers and real estate agents
continue the tradition of calling upon St. Joseph to help sell their property with
successful results.
EcoJoe™ is a greener alternative to the current St. Joseph products on the market. It is
made with 100% eco-friendly materials. Unlike the plastic St. Joseph products on the
market, EcoJoe™ will not poison the earth if left buried.
Every quarter we give part of our proceeds to a deserving charity. We do so by being
part of 1% for the Planet alliance. This Quarter, we are giving part of our proceeds
to Friends of the Urban Forest
Each quarter, we will make a poll to let the fans choose which charity will receive the
donation. To participate in the poll, please go to our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ecojoe. The poll will be up when it's time to vote!
Why Not Plastic?
Plastic, while convenient, is actually costing our economy a lot.
Here are some quick facts courtesy of Greenfeet.net:
* A plastic milk jug takes 1 million years to decompose.
* A plastic cup can take 50 – 80 years to decompose.
* Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every HOUR.
* Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1 million
sea creatures every year.
* Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.
* A United States law, implementing an international agreement called MARPOL Annex V,
became effective on December 31, 1988. It prohibits the disposal of plastics into the
marine environment and requires ports to provide reception facilities for ship-generated
plastic waste.

* Today, Americans generate 10.5 million tons of plastic waste a year but recycle only 1
or 2 % of it.
* An estimated 14 billion pounds of trash, much of it plastic is dumped in the world’s
oceans every year.
* The worldwide fishing industry dumps an estimated 150,000 tons of plastic into the
ocean each year, including packaging, plastic nets, lines, and buoys.
* About 1,200 plastic soft drink and salad dressing containers could carpet the average
living room.

* It takes 1,050 HDPE (#2) milk jugs to make a six-foot plastic lumber park bench.
* Every year we make enough plastic film to shrink-wrap the state of Texas.
* Nearly every piece of plastic EVER made still exists today.
So please, stop drinking bottled waters and bring your own grocery bags to shops. Our
*ONLY* goal with EcoJoe™ is to change how real estate industry
uses plastic. We strongly believe that even a small change can make a big
difference. So be part of solution today! Join the Plastic Revolution. Reuse, recycle and
reduce usage of plastic.
