Thanks for responding Sandi,
I have no affiliation with Melalueca whatsoever but have heard they are a decent company. They are MLM but say they are direct marketing to get away from negative connotations associated with MLM companies. As far as MLM's go I think they get favorable reviews,like all MLM's very few make any money.
Melalueca is not alone destroying natural resources for their gain, lot of companies are guilty of that. Very few environmentally conscious companies. Many say they are and they are in some aspects but often leave out some details about where the waste is going or habitats that are destroyed to produce their products.
I would say we all are guilty to some degree of destroying habitats, environments and natural resources. I mean the house we live on was once wildlife haven. A lot the products we enjoy have to come at the expense of something. The USA has taken a pro environment stance with reducing emissions, stricter water pollution policies etc. However a lot of countries have not and will not resulting in many companies off shoring jobs to less restrictive places.
Overall though, we have it very good in the good ol USA

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
