Read about CEO, Diane Mahoney, and her crusade to educate people in order to protect children and families through pesticide free produce.


A Word From Our CEO

In 1994, while completing my degree in Special Education, I suspected a correlation between pesticides and the dramatic increase in serious childhood disorders, including autism and learning disabilities. I contacted the EPA and other governmental agencies in the pursuit of mandates to assist with regulating dangerous chemicals on the foods we eat.

After many frustrating and politically-charged disputes, I dedicated myself to the "David vs. Goliath" crusade by educating people about agricultural pesticides (a $37 billion industry), and set out to find a way to protect children and provide families with pesticide free produce.

My mission of protecting families and children continues by educating the public about the importance of limiting toxins in their daily lives, and using a food grade produce soap designed to remove surface contaminants, without leaving behind toxic residues or aftertaste. As a Special Education teacher, I love to teach, and cherish an opportunity to inform consumers on ways they may "Protect What Is Precious," their families and their homes.
Environne Fruit & Vegetable Wash, developed by Dr. Donald C. Atkins, a noted scientist in the surfactant field, has been on the market since 1987. Fortunately the popularity has increased from the early days where I could be found bottling the formula in my basement. My mission has spread sales of Environné products across international borders to Canada, Czech Republic, Europe, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Turkey, and United Arab of Emirates.

 

Take a Look at Environné's New Look:
Our Fruit and Vegetable Wash has a fresh new look and it's soon to spread across the entire Environné line of products. Introducing the new look with the Fruit and Vegetable Wash labeling was a natural. The product has received international acclaim since 1987 as the original VegiWash proven to remove surface chemicals. The colorful new image will be implemented across the entire Environné line late 2008.
