Chris shares with Joe how he came up with Sheets Laundry Club and his experience on the hit show Shark Tank.\\n\\nCheck out Sheets Laundry Club here.\\xa0\\n\\nAbout Our Guest\\xa0\\nChris Videau, is a veteran US Army helicopter pilot who was inspired to create a product that will help eliminate plastic waste. Over the course of 20 years in the US Army, Chris observed our planets plastic problem from the sky while in Iraq he spent most of his days flying through a black haze of pollution caused by burning trash in city streets. Chris returned from Iraq with permanent lung damage from the toxic burn pits where it has been recorded by the Department of Defense that approximately 3.5 million service members could have been exposed to these pits during their time in service. Chris has since felt compelled to be a part of the solution in saving our planet which is why he started Sheets Laundry Club.\\xa0\\n\\nFind out more about Chris here:\\n\\n \\tSpectrum News 1: Veteran creates plastic-free business\\n \\tWSCOTV: \\xa0Another local company lands a deal on \\u2018Shark Tank\\u2019\\n\\nJoin the conversation on Facebook!\\nCheck out Veteran on the Move on Facebook to connect with our guests and other listeners.
