CYPRESS, Calif., April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today,
52-year-old green manufacturer Earth Friendly Products®, the maker
of ECOS® plant-powered cleaners, celebrated the 49th anniversary of
Earth Day at its corporate headquarters in Cypress, California, by premiering a short
video that is appearing this week at the EarthxFilm festival in
Dallas, Texas. The video will be
featured online and at film festivals and environmental summits
across the U.S. throughout 2019.
Titled "The Artist," the video is the creation of innovative
young Greek filmmaker Petros
Antoniadis and Los
Angeles-based environmental artist and social activist
Velia De Iuliis. Earth Friendly
Products is using the art video to express its vision for a better
future for the earth.
In the video, the narrator states,
"We imagine a different world
A world where air pollution no longer exists
Where clean water is not a privilege
A world without waste
And we're working to create that world today with you
Clean, healthy and sustainable
Making the future today in the world's first carbon neutral, water
neutral, zero waste facilities."
Speaking at the Earth Day event, Kelly
Vlahakis-Hanks, president and CEO of Earth Friendly
Products, said she was moved by the power of art to effect change.
"Art is a powerful way to fight for the environment, and Petros'
talent and Velia's passion have combined to bring to life our
sustainability story and our vision for a safer, cleaner planet
through art."
Antoniadis has previously worked with the company on several
corporate videos and said those experiences helped him to propose
this idea to the company. "ECOS is an authentic brand that truly
walks the talk. Getting to create and tell their story and
communicate their vision was a joy," said Antoniadis.
De Iuliis said she was deeply moved by ECOS' story and jumped at
the opportunity to take part in the project. "My work is about
conservation, so I was honored to play the role of the artist in
the story, to help advocate art as a way to highlight the
environment," said De Iluiis. "Earth Friendly Products is at the
forefront of the environmental world, and their ECOS products
embody that leadership."
The Earth Day celebration at Earth Friendly Products that
featured the premiere of "The Artist" also featured guest speakers
on environmental sustainability and policy.
Congressman Alan Lowenthal, who
serves California's 47th
Congressional District, spoke at the event and praised Earth
Friendly Products for its unsurpassed record in sustainability.
"Every time I come here to visit, I am inspired—there's no other
word for it," says Lowenthal. "The core values of this company are
to make sure they provide safer products and protect this planet
for future generations. There is nothing more important than
protecting this environment, which is so fragile."
