We`re an e-tailer that manufactures and sells thousands of different items that allow our customers to express themselves, whatever their interests. Some of the products that we make include stickers, phone cases, keychains, jewelry, and automotive accessories. What started out as a small eBay business from a garage, spread into a house then moved to a tiny warehouse in a sketchy neighborhood, then across a freeway to a bigger and somewhat nicer office and now occupies an even larger space (we even have a television with a Roku box in our fine break room!). We think the business has morphed into something pretty neat!
method sold its first product on February 28th, 2001 – we mark this as the day we became people against dirty®. But why did two twenty-something guys start a cleaning product company? Well, we’re not exactly big fans of cleaning, but we are passionate about cleaning up a dirty business. We recognized that household cleaning, which includes laundry and hand wash, was a massive category in desperate need of a little disruption. We also had questions. Why do we pollute when we clean? Why do we use poison to make our homes healthier? And why do cleaners have to be so ugly that you hide them away or smell so bad that you hold your breath? The answer: we can do better. Leveraging two major cultural shifts in health + wellness and life styling of the home, we disrupted every aspect of the category and grew method into a green cleaning leader. Along the way, we hit #7 on the Inc. 500 list, were named the #16th most innovative company in the world by Fast Company in 2008 and became PETA persons of the year for developing the first vegan laundry products. method products can be found in Target, Lowe’s, Safeway, Whole Foods and most grocers nationwide, along with growing distribution in the UK, France, China, Japan and Australia. And the party is only getting started. In 2012, method merged with Belgian green cleaning giant Ecover, and together became the world’s largest green cleaning company. Our two brands are committed to inspiring generations of happy, healthy homes by making non-toxic products that work—for you and the planet. And we’re building a LEED-Platinum certified manufacturing plant to prove it, the first of its kind in our industry. We even formalized the name of our joint enterprise: People Against Dirty (PAD) Manufacturing. Of course, this is more than a company name, it is one of our founding principles. By pioneering a cleaner clean, we believe we can make a difference.

FastBridge Learning helps teachers foster greater learning outcomes with evidence-based classroom assessments in math, reading, and behavior developed by a team of nationally-renowned researchers from the University of Minnesota which provide teachers the best data and real-time feedback to inform intervention and instruction decisions that are highly targeted to the individual learner. We offer the only online system (FAST) with both Computer-Adaptive Tests and Curriculum-Based Measurements: a multi-modal, multi-source model that generates more precise data about students` strengths and weaknesses and learning growth. We offer universal screening (3-5 times per school year) to pinpoint skills strengths/weaknesses, provide a predictor of a student`s reading and math abilities, and forecast future performance on high-stakes tests. Benchmark screening is used to identify which students are on target or at risk and thus need supplemental support or intensive intervention as part of a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) or Response to Intervention (RTI) program. We also offer ongoing progress monitoring to precisely measure learning growth. Our evidence-based assessments are highly efficient and accurate, so teachers spend less time testing or guessing and more time teaching.
