Green Paper and Cleaning Products




SEventh Generation Logo 

There are many companies that offer Green Products.  Many provide a wide range of products.  All have neat web sites.  

Seventh Generation's web site has lots of great Green Factoids and links to living the Green life.

We can all make a difference - one at a time.  "Each individual can make a difference .... The choices we make everyday regarding the food we eat, how much water and energy we consume, the types of cleaning products we use, the kind of car (and how often) we drive, all can have a positive or negative impact on the earth."

What about the name?  What is the meaning or message?
"... derives its name from the Great Law of the Iroquois that states, In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." 

"... provide interesting and relevant information through our product packaging and other initiatives including printed materials. .. "The Seventh Generation Guide to a Non-Toxic Home," a comprehensive guide designed to help consumers and retail buyers make better health and environmental choices ... perhaps the most important lesson ... is that "as goes the earth's health, so goes ours."

Interesting Factoid:

"If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 4 pack of 400 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save: 1,450,000 trees, 3.7 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 5,500 full garbage trucks, 523 million gallons of water, a year’s supply for 4,100 families of four, and avoid 89,000 pounds of pollution!"
