MantraMeds Insider Goes to Panama for Medical Mission
One of our MantraMeds Insiders took our sustainable medical scrubs to Panama on a medical mission. His team performed routine dentistry for people in need while there. He wrote us:
The scrubs were great thanks so much. I was in Penonome, Panama for 2 weeks doing dental work in poor communities. I appreciate you getting me the scrubs so quickly and exchanging sizes, ya’ll made it really easy. They were the best looking scrubs in Panama.

My Energy-Saving Resolution Contest
Speaking of sustainable New Years Resolutions, here’s a fun way to announce yours to the world!
Tell us how you resolve to save energy in 2012.
Go to the contest on the Better World Energy Facebook Page and submit a sentence (or sentences) that begins with “I resolve to” and follows with what you will do to save energy and shrink your carbon footprint.
For example: I resolve to change ten light bulbs to CFLs and always turn off the lights when I leave the room!
Then, share your resolution and vote for your favorite entry. The entry that receives the most votes by February 7, 2012 wins! Two additional winners will be selected by Better World Energy judges based on innovation, effectiveness, and usefulness to others. The creator of each winning entry will receive a carbon offset for the annual emissions of an average vehicle, a $75 value. You do your part, and we’ll do ours!

New Year’s Resolution
New Years resolutions have a tendency to be self-centered… lose 10 lbs, limit visits to the local yogurt shop to once a month, cut down on your seasonal lattes at $5 a pop… This year, MantraMeds Sustainable Medical Apparel is encouraging you to make a resolution to get involved in the positive movements in your community! Thanks to the power of social media, it has never been easier to find out about wellness groups, cycling clubs, green teams, garden clubs, big brother programs, etc. in your area. You don’ thave to spend big dollars on a gym membership for this resolution! All most of these groups ask for is your time. We know time is money, but we believe giving back to your community is invaluble.
How do you find these groups? Start with Facebook! Most cities or towns have at least one page for official events. One of the MantraMeds offices is located in Greenville, SC. Downtown Greenville, SC has its own Facebook page. To find related sites, scroll down to this page’s “Likes” column on the left hand side. These are facebook pages of companies or groups that Downtown Greenville (or your hometown page) supports. See if you are interested in any of these groups. Ours links us to cycling clubs, hiking groups, wellness initiatives, teams that clean up our local trails, etc.
This week, we’ll be posting about some of the groups in our local community who are giving back. Use social media to your advantage and search for the initiative that fits YOU!
