Maternity Educator Delivers Green Image

Dec. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- HOUSTON – The Fairfax, CA-based International Maternity Institute (IMI) is a leader in birth and maternity professional education.  The Organization recently enrolled with the Green Business Bureau (GBB) to become green business certified.
“The IMI is committed to environmentally-friendly practices, raising awareness, and green education,” says Mary Oscategui, IMI’s Founder.
In fact, the IMI offers training in both Green Birth and Green Proofing.  Both courses train maternity professionals in the education, support, and resources needed to protect their clients and their children from unsafe exposure to potentially toxic substances in their home, on their body, and in their environment.
“We provide green education for maternity professionals to empower their clients throughout the stages of pre-conception, pregnancy and birth, says Oscategui.  “Our organization is also committed to reducing, reusing, recycling, and rebuying whenever possible.”
Oscategui says that the IMI chose to enroll with the GBB because it offers quality recognition and outstanding support in the green industry.
“Our membership in the GBB will allow us to raise awareness by providing education and empowering others to green their world one step at a time,” says Oscategui.
The GBB offers a leading, third-party certification to businesses who want to improve their bottom line through the increased business and cost savings brought about by sustainable practices.
