We took a few minutes from touring the floor to meet the one and only Burt Shavitz, co-founder of Burt's Bees, who was making an appearance at the show. Burt was good-naturedly signing hats, which you can afford to do after you've sold your company for a reported $925 million! Not bad for a company founded 25 years ago in a one-room abandoned schoolhouse in rural Maine.
If nothing else, Burt's Bees shows just how much large corporations are abuzz with health, wellness and sustainability.
