The above link is a kick-starter-type website, my friends are trying to start up their own company selling green and eco-safe cleaning products as well as personal care products. They are trying to raise funds for EPA testing. When they get EPA certification, they will be the first cleaning products that are deemed safe all around for you and the environment. Their products have benefiting properties for the environment when they are disposed of down the drain.

The biggest goals they had were:

To be as pure as possible, that means not using synthetic chemicals, but by using 100% USDA certified ingredients, ect

To be affordable to you and me, that means there isnt a compromise when going to the store and buying something that helps you, your home and the environment. Would you rather buy bleach, which causes fumes that can hurt you. Or buy a cleaning product that uses aroma therapy to make you happy?

To help others, 10% of everything they make from their products goes straight to charities

If you could donate/share this on facebook, twitter, with other ft86club members! or post on other car forums, that would be great! I mean we do drive one of the most environmentally friendly sports cars out there lol sippin gas, leaving tracks :burnrubber:

People don't want to save the world. Invent a cleaning product that melts whatever it is sprayed on. That will be some shit.

I want to step in here. CarbonBlue is a friend of mine, I met through this site. I have personally met with these guys about this company and been following their progress for a few months.

I would like to throw my limited influence behind CB and his friends and second his request to look into this company and what they are trying to do. I think you will find it a worthwhile cause and one worth investing in.

the fundraiser went live less than 24hrs ago

and if you think its hard to believe to raise that kind of money? the tallest man on earth raised $46,000 so he could make shoes for himself that would fit

http://www.gofundme.com/crowdfunding-websites/

Igor Vovkovinskiy “Thank you so much @gofundme for everything you did for me. Only because of @gofundme and my friends, was I able to raise money for shoes.”


EPA testing is $50k a pop lol... thats why big companies like proctor and gamble OWN that industry, not to mention all the other tests you have to do, and all the other certifications....

If you added up all the lab facility work, scientific study behind it, and the certifications our suppliers have, as far as formulating this product so that it works. out of pocket costs for a person like me and you would range in the 4 - 8 million area...

we are currently filling orders for commercial-use-only until we get the website up and the ordering software that goes with managing the site. We don't have have any money at the moment and we are doing everything on our own. We were going to use an investor in the beginning but the percentage they were asking for would keep us from donating to charities and funding other earth saving projects we have planned. There's only 3 of us at the moment and none of us have seen a dime from it. You just gotta do what you gotta do when you are inventing something...

The website should be done in 3-5 weeks depending on how much time out of regular work we have, at that time you can place an order through our site. (don't hold your breathe, as with any new business things change rapidly but that date is when we plan on having the website finished, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be up on time) if we had the funds we would hire people to do all of this for us, and at that point we wouldn't need a fundraiser to help us out

that link paints an easy picture on how long it takes, then months of refinements after that because it has to be appealing to your demographic... just like it took 5 years to complete the FT86, they though it was going to be ready in 2011 but took almost a whole year more to fine tune it
