Toxin-Free Living!

Ten years ago my hubby and I decided to maintain a chemical-free household: everything from dish detergent to makeup, and Seventh Generation's been a HUGE part of that. Our daughter was born at home- creating a "smaller footprint" (no pun intended) through the miracle of life is pretty amazing. We love Sev Gen diapers! We recycle and reuse, and try to keep plastic use to a minimum. We have a spring/summer veggie and herb garden, etc. etc. We're trying to make a difference in our wonderful neighborhood and loving it! :)

New Life=New Outlook

As a mother of an infant, I want to do everything possible to make her life better. I am transitioning into a chemical-free life. I use 7th generation products, and that's a big step in the right direction for our family.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

We reuse as many packaging items as possible (plastic ziploc bags, plastic containers, etc) and try to reduce where possible. At Christmas time, my church actually reuses the 2 Liter soda bottles to make luminaries for our Nativity Drive Through. I also work for a company that is very concerned about the environment and makes recycling very easy for all employees. My company actually recently won an award for being so "green". Seventh Generation is truly an inspiration!

Cleaning Products and Diapers

We either purchase or make our cleaning supplies. We use cloth diapers for our 12 month old.

Leading The Way

Small steps can bring about big change. In our family we do small simple things like recycle, grow a garden, compost, and make informed choices about the products we bring into our home. I believe this has an influence on our family and friends around us, hopefully encouraging them to make some of these changes as well.

Another "buy less" person

Like jecoffey, I try to be really deliberate about just buying less stuff. And I try to repurpose things as toys for my toddler. He loves the cardboard box I brought home yesterday!

Recycle

I recycle all products, I eat organic foods and buy more green products to help maintain a healthly environment and household for my family.

Recycle

I live in a household that recycles every week. We always try to put plastics in the recycling. I love recycling because I feel as if I am helping the environment

I try to teach my kids the importance of recycling. We reuse items and try to cut down on packaging.

A little change goes a long way

We eat a vegetarian diet in our house (5 people). We purchase almost exclusively organic products. We purchase only natural cleaning products like Seventh Generation. I blog and tweet about vegetarian eating and other ways we can make small changes to keep ourselves educated about our affect on the world.

Thank you for the changes you stimulate.

At our house, we have bricks in our toilet bowls to reduce water consumption. Our toilet still flushes and we use a lot less water

My son use to make fun of me for all my recycling... :) I catch him doing the same now !!! :D

Love your product!

We love 7th Generation! We use your dish and laundry soap all the time. We also recycle everything, and I am trying to be better about not forgetting my reuseable bags at home. Thanks for a great product!

change

I have started teaching my daughter about recycling (she is 5 now) we have always recycled but now she is really understanding it. I took her on a trip to the local Alter company when we were selling a load of scrap iron from our farm. She thought it was the neatest place in the world. We ended up staying there an extra hour just so she could watch all the goings on. And every spring and fall we pick up the ditches by my parents farm. She gets so mad when she sees all the trash after the snow melts/or grass dies down. Last fall she said she hopes she finds someone's mail so she can go to their house and put them in time out and tell them how yucky and mean it is to be a litter bug and how it is bad for everyone. I was fortunate to grow up on a farm where everything got used till it was falling apart then if it had zero for a purpose it was disposed of. Machinery (scrapped) buildings (taken down and anything good used somewhere else) my parents believed anything and everything can be reused and that is what I am passing on to my daughter.

Recycle

We recycle most of everything we can to limit our garbage. For a family of 5 we can go about 3 weeks without putting our can on the curb. We are working towards going a month!!

We do try to recycle, though

We do try to recycle, though I wish it would be encouraged by the government (like in Germany) to do so. 7th Generation Laundry detergent is great

Available at Wal-Mart

Love the fact that your products are available at this mass merchandiser - the more people see these products the better! Especially when people can compare the prices and find it is so easy and painless to make the right choices.

Labeling

As an environmentally conscious vegan, I appreciate 7 generation's clear labeling - makes buying their products so much easier!

Great Products

Starting using Seventh Generation products last year - and haven't looked back. Wonderful products!

How i lead change in my home

I purchase only plant based organic cleaning products and am always shopping for post consumer made products.

Living greener

My children take reusable sandwich bags to school. Our trash hauler uses single stream recycling. We have a large garden, compost our food waste, and have chickens! And of course we use 7th generation products in our home. I believe the little things we do can add up and make a big impact.

How I have lead my family to be more green

I started by eliminating paper products and plastic bags wherever I could. I bring my own shopping bags and produce bags to the grocery store. I have completely stopped using paper napkins and paper towels - we use cloth napkins and we use old tshirts for cleaning. I make most of my own cleaning products, but for laundry soap, dish soap and dishwasher soap, I use products like Seventh Generation. We recycle all plastics, paper and metal - even though we have to drive our recycling to a center ourselves. We don't have access to glass recycling, so I reuse as many glass containers as I can. I use glass storage containers, such as canning jars and Pyrex containers and reused food jars. Finally, I wrap gifts using shopping bags, fabric remnants or second hand tablecloths and napkins.

thankfully my garbage company

thankfully my garbage company does recycling too. when we first moved here they didn't, but they don't take eveything. they don't take glass and butter and yogurt continers so i collect them and take them to the recycling center myself.
