Seventh Generation is working to create more and more products that are sustainable, so it makes sense for consumers to stop and ask, "What do you mean by a sustainable product?" and, "Is it possible to produce products from plants in a sustainable way?"

According to the World Commission on Environment and Development, a sustainable product is one that meets the needs and aspirations of one generation without affecting the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and aspirations.

Say it ain't so! A new study being reported just about everywhere finds (gasp!) that organic foods (no!) are no more nutritious (horror!) than conventional foods (shock!). Media alarms are blaring. Big Agriculture is crowing. Consumers are confused, and just about everyone appears to have forgotten the most important thing of all.
 

In my house, September 1 is the first day of winter. Or at least the first day of thinking about it. That's the day I start my cold weather to-do list. There's wood to stack, summer gear to put away, and, most of all, a host of things to check to make sure that once the snow starts to fly we don't freeze solid and go broke doing it.

When it comes to getting the job done, Seventh Generation cleaning products have earned their reputation for great results. Our plant-based household care products handle daily cleaning needs without harsh chemicals or synthetic scents. They even take care of most cleaning needs for the offices at Seventh Generation headquarters here in Burlington, VT.
