“Just One Thing!” We have all heard this environmentally friendly call to action. If we each did that one thing, the global chain reaction would make a huge impact on the planet’s well being. By nature, the automotive industry requires the use of many chemicals and other hazardous items. However, by properly handling, disposing and recycling as much of those items as possible, we at Dick Hannah Honda can lessen our impact just like anyone else.
Over the last 11 Months, the Dick Hannah Honda Service department has consumed (and thrown in the trash) 5,220 aerosol cans of Brake Cleaner. In addition to cleaning brake components, we use it to keep our customer’s cars clean and their driveways free of those pesky oil drips after service work. As of March 2010, we have switched over to the refillable Sure Shot cans. Not only do we spare the dumpster from the onslaught of aerosol cans (almost 6,000 a Year!), the Sure Shots use simple compressed air to propel the solvent, dramatically reducing the amount of those nasty gasses that affect the ozone. The fluid to refill these cans comes in a single 55 gallon drum which is also recycled.
“Just one thing” is not really an applicable phrase here at Dick Hannah Honda. In my opinion, we never stop with just ONE thing. Our list of “one things” is huge and growing every day! It gives me great pride to work for a company that supports an environmental mindset, even when it sometimes costs a bit more to do it the right way.
The “Manetamer”
(Ponytail Holder for men but loved by everyone)
So here I am thinking what to write about this week; I thought I should write about something and someone dear to my heart. The “Manetamer” and its inventor; My brother, Marc Keesy. Best way to discribe it is to see it by going to”Google” or “bing” Search “Manetamer ponytail holder for men but loved by everyone” This will bring you to his facebook page. It’s very cool and nothing on the market is like it. I see athletes, stars, singers, business men all wearing rubberbands and women’s hair holders, this would be so great for anyone that wants to hold on to the hair they have because it wraps around the hair, not pulls it out! As Marc says: “using anything else is like wearing your sister dress” He has several commercials on His facebook, I even have a spot sporting the “Little Willies” on the ends my braids. He’s already been featured on the BBC2′s “Dragen’s Den”. Like the “Shark Tank” here in America. Well give it a look, whether you’re looking for an investment opportunity, a job or just want these awesome ponytail holders for men for yourself!
Cheers!
Simone
BTW; all my friends here at Dick Hannah Honda give it two thumbs up!

Looking for an indoor activity that is great exercise and tons of fun? Try Roller Skating. My family and I went to Oaks Park in Portland Oregon and roller skated. We all had a blast and it didn’t cost a fortune. They play good music and on Wednesdays it’s only $4.50 for 2 ½ hours of skating plus your skate rental and a free small pop if you are a Bi-Mart member. Check out there web site for more information at oakspark.com/skating.html
I do recommend though if you are not a great skater that knee pads and wrist guards are always a good idea. Also if you don’t have your own skates that you bring 2 pair of socks for extra cushion for the skates they lend you. They have seen better days. It’s fun for all ages. Get out there and Skate!
