Nantucket Spider is pushing the bug repellent and the home goods industry forward with its recent sustainability and transparency efforts. After announcing its Plastic-Free by 2025 initiative and its commitment to transparency this year, the company has now also committed to giving 2% of the proceeds of each item it sells online to Rainforest Trust’s Conservation Action Fund.
WILTON, Conn. – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Nantucket Spider, a leader in the natural outdoor and home goods space, has committed to donating 2% of the proceeds of each item it sells online to support rainforest and endangered species habitat conservation with Rainforest Trust’s Conservation Action Fund. The fund is used to support and protect endangered species, threatened rainforests and other tropical ecosystems around the world. Rainforest Trust is one of the world’s most effective conservation charities with over 40 million acres of rainforest protected to date.
Nantucket Spider has been a leading innovator in the natural insect repellent market for nearly 10 years, with sustainability and transparency at the forefront of their business. More recently, the company has expanded into the zero-waste cleaning product space, adding an innovative plastic-free line of natural cleaning products and laundry detergent under the product line name “Nantucket Footprint.”
“We are mindful that the most humble creatures with the smallest footprints are impacted every day by the choices we all make.” – Nancy Jack, CEO and Co-Founder
Earlier this year, the company announced its Plastic-Free by 2025 initiative. Already packaged and sent to customers in biodegradable bags, their bug repellents will be packaged in aluminum bottles starting this year, reducing plastic use and improving recyclability. This past summer, Nantucket Spider announced that they have become a fully remote company, thereby reducing their internal greenhouse gas emissions to zero. They are also working with their trade partners to further reduce emissions with sourcing.
Sustainability, Packaging & Ingredients:
Nantucket Spider’s products are all made with the lowest toxicity ingredient choices on the market and are packaged in recycled, recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable packaging. Their latest line of cleaning products, Nantucket Footprint, are packaged without water and without plastic.
Nantucket Spider’s Mission
The company’s mission is to create natural products using the highest-quality ingredients, the lowest toxicity, and the least amount of waste possible.
“We are committed to leaving the planet better than we found it for the future of the environment and for the future of our children. Subsequent generations should live in a safe, environmentally stable world, and we know that we can play a part in what that world looks like.” – Nancy Jack, CEO and Co-Founder

The museum’s permanent closure comes after pandemic-related funding shortfalls
SHAWNEE, Kan. – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Though the Medicine’s Hall of Fame & Museum in Shawnee, Kansas, opened for public tours in early 2020, its origins began much earlier. Physician Dr. Bruce Hodges spent a lifetime collecting nearly 5,000 medical artifacts from around the world to display them in a museum to bring light to the history of medicine. After years of preparing the museum’s exhibits, just before it was set to open, COVID-19 pandemic restrictions limited the museum’s ability to fully open. Low attendance numbers created financial challenges that ultimately led to its closure. Now, the collections, which include rare antique medical equipment, Native American and African tribal medicinal practice artifacts, early apothecary items and other unique instruments of medicine, will be sold at a Mayo & Auction Realty online auction in November.
Dr. Hodges and his son Robin carefully curated the displays and exhibits that tell the storied past of medicine as practiced by cultures around the world. “In the 1970s, I decided to open a medical museum,” says Dr. Hodges. As a practicing physician and a missionary in Uganda, he traveled to many African countries collecting the artifacts. “I always intended to put the items in a museum,” he adds.
The museum has sold the building and will sell the artifacts and museum fixtures in an online auction. Notable items include a rare pediatric iron lung from the 1940s used to treat the polio virus; a Chippewa wood and rawhide medicine drum; a Nigerian Yoruba tribe chieftain sash circa 1880; a late 1800s Kratzer Carriage Company horse-drawn doctor’s buggy; George Washington Presidential Peace medals from 1789-95; rare apothecary bottles and jars; and a Columbian antique dental chair in which Dr. Louis Gebhardt was beaten to death by a patient on Nov. 1, 1904.
One of his most memorable acquisitions for Dr. Hodges is a doctor’s saddle bag originating from the 1880s. “I had a patient call me and tell me she saw a newspaper advertisement for an estate auction that had medical items for sale, and she thought I’d be interested in them,” says Dr. Hodges. “So I drove more than 60 miles to the auction only to find that there was just one medical item in the sale, and it would be selling as the last item. After having waited all day at the auction, I was determined to be the winning bidder on the doctor’s saddle bag.” What makes the saddle bag so special is the nearly complete set of corked topped medicine vials and bottles contained inside.
The sheer quantity and variety of unique and rare artifacts is difficult to describe. Fortunately, the over 4,000 artifacts will be displayed and offered to the public in multiple online auction catalogs ending the same week in early November.
The online auction, conducted by Mayo Auction & Realty of Belton, Missouri, will provide the opportunity for other collectors and museums to purchase these unique items. “We are honored to work with Dr. Hodges and the Medicine’s Hall of Fame & Museum. Throughout our process, we are dedicated to honoring the history of the artifacts and focused on finding enthusiastic and dedicated caretakers for every item in the museum,” says Robert Mayo, chief executive officer and auctioneer at Mayo Auction & Realty.
Photos and descriptions of the items will be posted in multiple online catalogs and bidders can place bids from anywhere on their mobile devices, tablets or computers. In-person previews will be on Friday, Nov. 4, from 2-6 p.m. at 6305 Lackman Road, Shawnee, Kansas. Online bidding ends Monday, Nov. 7.

The Medicine’s Hall of Fame & Museum’s Doors Have Closed, Leaving 4,000 Rare Artifacts Ready for a New Home
As European COVID deaths rise, it’s time for businesses to review their pandemic planning and ensure lockdowns won’t be needed or even recommended
AUSTIN, Texas – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
As European countries see an increase in their COVID infections, providing an early indication of what is potentially on its way to the USA, SaferMe, a leading pandemic readiness company, is recommending that local businesses review their pandemic readiness plans in the face of a potential winter surge of the virus.
The European Centre For Disease Prevention and Control has stated that it has begun “seeing indicators rising again in Europe, suggesting that another wave of infections has begun.” Pooled COVID data up to the end of week 40, 2022 (the week ending Oct. 13), in Europe showed “widespread increases were being observed in all indicators, with one third of EU/EEA countries reporting increases in COVID-19 deaths.”
“What is concerning is that many U.S companies are developing COVID fatigue and are becoming complacent with their planning, despite growing health indicators in Europe. It is just good business continuity protocol to ensure that pandemic plans are always up to date,” says Clint Van Marrewijk, CEO and founder of SaferMe. “Companies that rely on outdated historic pandemic plans or adopt a wait-and-see approach are potentially jeopardizing business operations, supply chains, and jobs.”
Additionally, America will also be heading into its flu season. “Irrespective of the pandemic type or its magnitude, now is the time for businesses to take the responsible steps to be prepared for all types of pandemic eventualities. Companies that are well prepared can avoid complete lockdowns. We have had some bitter lessons in what not being adequately prepared means. Businesses have a duty of care to look after their employees and all visitors on company premises,” adds Van Marrewijk.
To mitigate against the impact of poor pandemic planning, SaferMe recommends that companies develop an integrated response, which can be activated within 48 hours of a virus risk surpassing the company’s risk tolerance. The following steps will help companies achieve this:
