sounds like a plan

i like how there is videos about the different products. it really shows the care that people put into the company. can't wait to get some soap.

Thank you!

This is one of the main reasons why I love 7th Generation products. This is one of the few company's that actually care about Mother Earth. It takes a big person (or company in this case) to do the right thing. 7th generation is able to make good, quality products without compromising the earth. Thank you 7th Generation for making this a better place to live while we enjoy good product. Keep doing a good job. We support your efforts and we will continue to do our part as well.

I had no idea that a milk jug or less could be recycled into a completely new container. Thanks for the information!

Informative video

This is one of the reasons why we purchase 7th generation products. We typically do not purchase plastic bottles. We buy Organic Valley and recycle those paper ones. We also buy milk in glass bottles at our local co-op.

Committed

I am committed to replacing one bottle of a New Generation product for every bottle I normally purchase.

LOVED THIS!

Watched the video (sorry, don't have time to read all the comments here, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating something).

This video is SO awesome. There's nothing pretty about it, just pure information. GOOD-CLEAR-SIMPLE-FAST-INFORMATION. It will make a difference in me. If you could get all that information in "commercial time"...wow, how great that would be! (sorry, if this has already been done...I don't have a lot of time to watch tv either.

Love you guys after looking into you....will use as much of your products as possible...GOOD WORK!

Are MRF nationwide?

Are the MRF in every state across the US? Are there any here in Florida that work with 7Generation?

Wish more companies would

I think it would be great if more companies would do this.

I recycle and seeing how it really works, brings quite a smile! Thank you for taking the time to do this! oo also
southstar22_2003 asked if he said bleach in the begining, but i think he was talking about non-chlorine bleach.

Posted by: southstar22_2003

interesting

did he say chlorine bleach at the start?
i thought 7th generation was basically against using things like that?

Posted by: ashley89

Heck yeah

This clip taught me a few new things and managed to make me feel hopeful some how. Thanks so much for sharing.

Had no idea this could be done.

Posted by: starrkissed

Wow!

That is an awesome concept. I have seen these products around but have not used any yet, but I definitely will make an effort to change over to your products after seeing this video. Thank you for starting up a GREEN company!!

recycle!

Makes me sick when people won't spend the time to recycle

Posted by: treecat

Interesting

The company that picks up our trash supposedly recycles just about everything. I think it would be interesting to visit a recycling center. Noisey and smelly but fascinating. Follow the trash.
