We are thrilled to have Dr. Larry Weiss, CTO and co-founder of CleanWell, as our speaker in San Francisco this month. Dr. Weiss will discuss his company's approach to business that is inspired by real life and by people with a common passion.

CleanWell’s mission was born 10 years ago from a family’s need to find cleaning and disinfecting products that were highly effective but also safe. CleanWell is committed to creating natural technologies that offer a way to clean without compromising our personal health and safety, or that of the environment. CleanWell’s all-natural hand sanitizer and line of naturally scented hand washes deliver a variety of environmental advantages because the active ingredient is made from rapidly renewable natural resources that are sustainably grown without pesticides or fertilizer.

Dr. Weiss is a widely published physician, scientist, and expert in the chemistry of natural products, infection control and epidemiology. He's a graduate of Cornell University and Stanford Medical School, and has served as a NIH Fellow, clinician academic, and teacher. He and his family, plus three miniature longhair dachshunds wash their hands and paws at least five times a day. He blogs at "A Better Way to Clean".

This month we are being generously hosted by the W San Francisco. W San Francisco recently obtained Silver LEED-EB certification, which makes them one of seven existing build hotels in North America, and the first Starwood and W property to secure this highly sought after (and difficult to obtain) distinction within the green community. W is committed to ensuring that their guests can feel good about their impact on the environment without sacrificing style or substance. We'll be meeting in the The Industry Room.

Big thanks to W San Francisco and CleanWell for supporting us in kicking off SF EcoTuesday 2011!
