• Little Steps Here: Invites people to join the Kashi Community and Burt's Bees Hive for more little steps.  Participants can initiate their own personal change by making a simple pledge online, such as to plan an all-natural meal, get a good night's sleep, or walk for 30 minutes, as their first step to embracing a healthier lifestyle

"Because Burt's Bees is dedicated to making people's lives better every day, naturally, Kashi's Day of Change tour is an ideal opportunity to come together with a like-minded natural pioneer for a mission we both believe in," said John Replogle, CEO of Burt's Bees.  "We are proud to be a part of this program to help show individuals living a natural lifestyle can be both simple and rewarding."
