doTERRA Black Spruce Essential Oil Sourcing (Translated Subtitles)

<<3>> - We're here in the beautiful Boreal forest

<<5>> surrounded by black spruce trees,

<<8>> and this is our black spruce partner

<<10>> and our balsam fir partner, Jean-Claude.

<<13>> I would love for you to share with us

<<15>> the whole cycle that we have, the sustainability cycle

<<18>> behind the black spruce.

<<20>> - We don't cut trees so there's already an industry

<<23>> who is cutting the trees for construction work

<<26>> by the rule of the government.

<<28>> And the government makes sure it's sustainable.

<<30>> We take pile of branch that

<<32>> the logging industry doesn't want-

<<34>> - Right.

<<34>> - and it's left in the forest as a pile.

<<37>> And the nature doesn't like it

<<39>> because it give less space for the vegetation to grow.

<<43>> Everybody wins around because we take

<<45>> something nobody likes and we make nice products.

<<48>> - And you make something beautiful out of it.

<<51>> - From the time we receive

<<53>> the raw material to the site here,

<<56>> so we chip it, we put in the still.

<<58>> The way we work here with the parkland is that

<<60>> inside their building there's faucet we use as we need

<<63>> for the to get the steam to the still.

<<66>> - The distillery is located

<<67>> adjacent to a local power plant.

<<69>> They create power by burning wood by-product

<<71>> from the sustainable logging industry.

<<74>> This power plant creates the steam

<<75>> used in the distillation process for these oils.

<<78>> In exchange for the steam,

<<79>> the raw material, after being distilled,

<<81>> is then processed by the power plant,

<<82>> creating an entirely closed-loop cycle

<<85>> with net-zero environmental impact.

<<89>> - So two drops of oil help someone to relieve something.

<<95>> - Right.

<<96>> - And every 1.35 seconds, I'm helping someone.

<<100>> - Yeah, and how does that feel?

<<101>> - I wake up early in the morning for that.

<<104>> - Yeah

<<105>> - Yeah. I share that with my kids

<<107>> because they will be next generation

<<109>> to carry on, I hope, my business

<<111>> and make things even better for the world,

<<114>> cause we'll do just more and more of that.
