The household products company will go public this week after a tumultuous few years overshadowed by lawsuits and increasing competition.
When The Honest Company debuts on the Nasdaq this week, actress Jessica Alba will likely take center stage on the podium to ring the bellâcapping off a seemingly remarkable success story. It all began in 2008 when a pregnant Alba couldnât find reasonably priced natural and eco-friendly baby products and had the idea for a âclean and naturalâ products brandâselling dozens of products, including fashionable diapers for babies, detergents and wipes.

The Book You ll Want to Read Before It Disappears
In this video, Ronnie Cummins, founder and director of the Organic Consumers Association, and I discuss “The Truth About COVID-19 Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports and the New Normal,” which we co-wrote.
The book was released yesterday. If you preordered, thank you! If you didn’t, you can now pick it up without delay.
Thanks for all your support with the book. This is going to be an overwhelming best seller, and likely No. 1 in the U.S. We preordered 50,000 copies, but Amazon told us a few weeks ago that they needed 100,000 copies, which only happens a few times a year for any new book. The orders were placed weeks ago, but this pandemic has massively disrupted the printing industry so it is taking far longer to print books than it used to.
Wyden, Merkley, Democrat colleagues reintroduce ‘Green New Deal’ resolution
WASHINGTON (KTVZ) Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said Thursday they joined colleagues to reintroduce the Green New Deal Resolution, legislation that they said would address the existential challenge of climate change and create millions of good, high-wage jobs in the process.
“Oregonians enduring longer wildfire seasons along with prolonged droughts know full well how the climate crisis is already ravaging communities throughout our state,” Wyden said. “The need to act is now, and the Green New Deal recognizes that urgency by sending a powerful message that it’s time to kick America’s carbon habit before it destroys our families, our economy, and the future of our planet.”

A coalition of environmental, agriculture and justice groups is attempting to drum up opposition to legislation that aims to help farmers store carbon in the soil, a practice that’s become a key piece of the Biden administration’s strategy on climate change.
In a letter sent to members of Congress this week, the groups urge lawmakers to vote against the Growing Climate Solutions Act, a bill first introduced last year that would help create a voluntary carbon market, in which polluting companies would offset their emissions by paying farmers to conserve soil in ways that store carbon or to take measures to reduce emissions on their farms.
