Now that Earth Day and the spring season have officially arrived, many Americans are in their eco-conscious cleaning modes, and while spring cleaning is necessary if not a little exciting (downsizing! de-cluttering! finding everything you once thought was lost forever!), the very products used to clean and protect your living space from germs could be harmful to both your family and the environment.
According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, more than 50% of human poison exposure victims are children younger than six-years-old, and with sixty-three hazardous chemical products in the average American household-according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission-it’s no wonder so many kids are coming into contact with harmful chemicals on a daily basis at home.
According to a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive and commissioned by Seventh Generation, 70% of parents with kids under six-years-old store their household cleaning products and solutions under the sink, but 47% cannot name one ingredient in the cleaners that they are using and storing within reach of their children.
You may already be using “eco-friendly” products in your home, but some of the products on the market are not always what they appear to be.
Seventh Generation challenges you to take a closer look at the products you have been using and to kick off your “spring cleaning” by first cleaning out what is under your kitchen sink.
To help get you started with your under the kitchen sink makeover, Seventh Generation would like to send FIVE eco-savvy 5MinutesForGoingGreen readers a starter kit of Seventh Generation products for you to use for your every day cleaning needs.
(Total value: around $30-35 USD, per starter kit.)
Each of the five! starter kits we’re giving away will include the following Seventh Generation cleaning products encased in a handy reusable tote bag:
- Emerald Cypress & Fir Toilet Bowl Cleaner
- Ruby Grapefruit & Herb Natural Glass Cleaner
- Green Mandarin & Leaf Shower Cleaner
- Green Mandarin All-Purpose Cleaner
- Emerald Cypress & Fir Tub and Tile Cleaner
- Wild Orange & Cedar Kitchen Cleaner
- One roll of 100% recycled paper towels.
All of Seventh Generation’s products are non-toxic and biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, they aren’t tested on animals, and they are also kosher-certified. Awesome, no? Seventh Generation discloses all of their product ingredients on their website, and all of their paper products are comprised of 100% recycled paper.
I myself have been using the Seventh Generation cleaning arsenal for the past week and a half and already I’m thoroughly impressed. The products pack a serious cleaning punch, while not leaving our home laden with the typical chemical-heavy post-cleaning smells. To put it simply: I’m a believer, and I think you will be too as soon as you try some of their products.
We’re definitely going to help you with that this week.

Earth Week Tip, The Third:
“Use chlorine-free dishwasher detergent.The chlorine in conventional detergents is easily vaporized by hot dishwasher water and then released into your home’s air.” -10 Quick Tips for Green Cleaning
Bonus Links, to keep you reading green this week:
- Habitat Heroes is a wonderful new social networking site built for kids to cultivate the little environmentalist within. The site officially launches today. There is also a video in which Polly the Polar Bear explains Earth Day in a kid-friendly manner.
The story behind the site:
Sharon Lowe, a native-Australian and former New York resident saw that her children were spending a great deal of time online and wanted to create a place for them that was both entertaining and worthwhile. Several months back, there was a series of wildfires tearing through much of Australia, and Sharon’s children were having some profound concerns about these fires and the environment. The idea of Habitat Heroes came to her as a way to address the issues occurring within our environment and tap into just how tech-savvy the children of today are.
- In addition to helping you make-over your green cleaning, Seventh Generation also wants to share a great new resource called Health eHome that will help you uncover the hazards lurking in your home. Seventh Generation created Health eHome in collaboration with WebMD and Healthy Child Healthy World to provide a personalized educational platform that helps uncover potential dangers and hazards identified as “hot spots” in a virtual home. The tool also has an expert blog that provides trusted information on creating a cleaner, greener lifestyle, and you can test the safety of their home by doing a “Health eHome Check,” where they can get personalized results and an action plan for their home.

See you tomorrow for more great green giveaways, Earth Day tips, and bonus links to keep you winning, thinking, and clicking green all week long!

I love Seventh Generation’s dishsoap. It works wonderfully well!
Would love to win!
I’d LOVE to win this great set of green cleaners! I’ll be back with my green tip!
Where I live green cleaners aren’t widely available but I’d love to try them out.
I would just LOVE to win this set. I’ve used 7th Generation laundry detergent and diapers but would love to try their other things.
i love seventh gen. i have 2 small kids and use their products for everything
I really love seventh generation products!!
I love Seventh Generation!!! This would be an awesome prize pack to win.
I love all my 7th generation stuff and would love the kit! I’ll be back as soon as i think of a good green tip
We’re already winners for going green, but this prize would take the cake! Perfect Earth Day present : )
Would love to win this!
Here’s my green tip for the second entry…
Instead of using paper towels or paper napkins to keep our hands and faces clean at meal times, I’ve started using cloth napkins. Each person gets their own cloth napkin and special napkin ring (my mom shared this “ring” tip with me – it’s what people used to do). That way, if the napkin isn’t too dirty, it can be reused for the next meal. “Beauty” tip – napkins with patterns or darker in color are a better choice for everyday use – save the white/lighter napkins for company. :-)
Just bought my first Seventh Generation product last week, would be nice to broaden my Seventh Generation products.
I recently started using the laundry detergent and fabric softener and was going to check at the store to see what other cleaning products are available. Now I know!! Thanks.
(And thanks for the great tips. A friend just sent your link to me. I’ve loved everything I’ve read so far.)
I just started using Seventh Generation, and I’m very impressed with it so far. This is my first time commenting, but I love your blog and have been reading it for a while now. Keep up the great work!
I’ve heard great things about these products but haven’t tried them yet – I would love to win!
Going green tip (besides reading 5 Minutes for Going Green!) – I pack a lunch several days a week so I bought reusable containers that are the right size for my sandwich and other things I take every day – no more plastic bags. :)
I’ve got a green mini-tip for any knitters that might be out there. You know those plastic bits used to close plastic bread bags? They make handy stitch markers in a pinch. And if you need to put your project away for a while, you can write on it which row you just worked before you stopped.
I have been using Seventh Generation Products for over a year now since we resolved to be more green last New Years. Great Stuff!
Since I want everyone to be more green I give friends a basket full of Seventh Generation Products whenever they move to a new home. Everyone seems to love this gift!
Enter me! We are trying to move to only green cleaners.
I would love to win these products for my home. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Green tip:
Focuse on the reuse portion of the cycle. Try to find as many areas that you can reuse. Yogurt containers can be used to bring lunches to work, to store small nails or bolts, or to sort jewlery
please pick me! i love you guys!
my green tip (entry #2)
mixing 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar can be used as
1.) cleaner and deodorizer
2.) glass cleaner
3.) produce wash
multipurpose AND inexpensive!
I went and saw the Disney premier of “Earth” a couple of nights ago, and what a moving amazing documentary about our struggling earth. I am so glad that companies like Seventh Generation are creating products to help the earth!
These products sound great – would love to win them!
Green tip:
We’ve started a “conserve energy” program at our house, and we were shocked that unplugging appliances not in use saves us about $30 each month in electricity. Can’t get much easier than that…
Here is my green tip for the contest … if you MUST use paper towels for some things around the house, put them in the garage. And put a stack of rags under the sink. You will think twice before rummaging through the garage to get the paper, when the cloth is right at you fingertips. We did this 2 weeks ago and have cut our paper habit to just nuking our bacon in the microwave.
count me in!
My tip is vinegar in the rinse cycle for washing clothes. They come out soft and help rinse out residue soap! It’s a earth and sensitive skin friendly alternative to those awful fabric softners.
I have been wanting to try these products~ we have been using Melaleuca stuff, but gave up our membership – I’m looking forward to seeing how well these work – this would be great timing to win this giveaway!
It would be a real treat to win this gift! SG has some great products. Happy Earth Day!
Please enter me in the contest!!
I’m eager to try these products. Please enter me in the drawing!
Here is my tip for my second entry:
Make earth day a holiday your whole family celebrates: take the family out to clean up a park together and sort all the trash for recycling. If you don’t recycle at home and don’t have a few extra dollars to go out and buy recycling bins find some old boxes, cut them to the appropriate size and decorate the outside with wrapping paper, paint, old news paper, etc, and you have a re-cycled recycling bin!
These products sound wonderful. Hope I win!
This would be a great way to start off cleaning my new home!
I am looking for more ideas and more products that are earth friendly. I dont have these products in my area would love to try.
Keep going Green
I am most interested in trying the wild orange and cedar kitchen cleaner. I bet it smells great.
member(dot)thao(at)gmail.com
I’d love to win this prize pack!
I’ve never tried Seventh Generations products, but would love to give them a try!
My tip would be to mop floors with vinegar and hot water. This mixture cleans great, and leaves no sticky residue.
The 7th Gen hand dishwashing liquid is the best I’ve found. What a great give-away. I’ve made the commitment to green our cleaning. What a great feeling to clean the house and know it really is clean!
A quick green tip I’ve been practicing since I started trying to “go green”:
Don’t buy stuff.
Yep, that’s it. I’ve found that by curbing fast food visits, impulse buys, and other and sundry unnecessary purchases I’ve massively cut down on my waste (and kept my checkbook happy too!)
Me Please! I like their toilet bowl cleaner. :)
My green tip:
Start replacing disposable products with reusable. Cloth napkins and cleaning rags are a very simple yet effective way to be greener and save some money in the process.
I’ve tried Seventh Generation laundry products and really liked it. I’d love to try their dish soap and other products, so definitely enter me, please! :)
Have a blessed day :)
Would love to win these.
I would love to win this set of cleaning products. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
OMG…this is a GREAT offer. Thanks!
I would love to enter!

Our family reuses all mailing envelopes we get in the mail. It’s silly to just throw them out and then go to the store and buy a brand new one when you have a book to mail!
AmandaLSnow@yahoo.com

Green Living tip: Use stainless steel water bottles instead of plastic water bottles.
I love seventh generation products.
Would love to win.

These are great products.
I love seventh generation products!
I’d love to try these products and become greener.
Love seventh generation products, they work great!!
We use seventh generation products and I make some of our cleaners as well. I’m trying to instill greener living into my 5 children so they (and their children) can make a difference in our world. Thanks for the contest I’d love to win the products!
I bet that Orange and Cedar Kitchen Cleaner smells divine.
We installed a low-flow shower head in the bathroom. It only takes a touch of a button to reduce the water flow while soaping up or shaving. We also don’t run the water anymore while brushing our teeth.
I’d love to win this. Thanks for sharing~
Unplugging appliance – especially energy hogs like the washer and dryer help save you money on the electric bill and help save the environment.
I love this giveaway!
Green living tip: don’t buy disposable plates and napkins for picnics. Pick up reusable plates, napkins, and cutlery at garage sales or thrift stores, and make a picnic set for yourself that can be used over and over again.
I’d love to try Seventh Generation products :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
Consider reusing before recycling, e.g., plarn (plastic yarn) the plastic grocery bags you’ve collected and crochet reusable shopping bags with them.
I use Seventh Generation products all the time and truly love them. Would love to replenish my supply and try a couple new ones!
I’ve never used these products. It would give me a boost to become “greener”
Please enter me in your giveaway. Thank you.
I’d love to use these green products instead of the chemicals in my home. I need to quit buying that kind and go more green.
My green living tip is to combine errands. Plan out ahead how to get where you are going,
use the shortest routes to use less gas.
Wow – I would love to win this package! I am trying hard to be more eco-friendly & these cleaners will surely help me. I am glad to hear this brand can clean just as well as ones who have all those harsh chemicals!
lovely day today i love this site. mverno@roadrunner.com
Looks like a great starter kit!
Thanks for the great contest!
my green tip is to walk everywhere… most people’s first instinct is to jump into the car, but you really can carry more groceries than you think!
cool
would love to have this set to help “green” our home!
We bought SIGG’s for everyone to stop the plastic bottle abuse!
Love their products. I use their laundry detergent.

I am always looking for good, earth friendly cleaners. :) These look fabulous.
Please count me in.
Me please!
Use canvas totes! I forget about this all the time when I’m shopping but it really does make a difference! Store them in the car so if you stop to pick up groceries, etc. unexpectedly, you’re prepared! When you forget, save the plastic bags and use them as garbage bags for smaller garbages, like the one in the bathroom.
Great giveaway!
Don’t just bring your reusable totes to the grocery store, take them to the library and the mall…everywhere!
I’m very into natural and organic products now! I’d LOVE to win!
I love 7th generation products and I don’t have to feel guilty when I use them, like I do when I use the non-green cleaners.
I worry about all the chemicals in our cleaning products going down the drain and into the environment. Thanks for the giveaway.
My green tip is to use boiling water to kill weeds in the cracks of the sidewalk instead of toxic wee killer.
I have never tried this product but it sounds excellent.I am making an effort to go green and this prize would be helpful.
Super contest. I’ve been trying to come up with more ways to “go green” and help the environment.
I would love to try thses products

Eco-tip: Be mindful of the perishable foods you purchase and try not to buy more than you will use up. We waste far too much food because it spoils before we eat it! Thanks so much for the chance to win such a great giveaway!

i would love to win this!
i love Seventh Generation products and would love to win this! Great products, great giveaway!
One green living tip that i do, is to use my old dishwater to water my house plants. It’s a good/easy way to conserve a bit of water. i also collect rain water to irrigate my garden. :)
thanks for the chance to win this starter kit
JeansandTs@hotmail.com
It is very exciting to get to try new products for the home. I love to go with “green” products. I hope I am the one that gets to try it out.
i have heard wonderful things about seventh generation but have not been able to try the products. i would love to try them! =)
I have asthma, these products sound like they would be great for me to use.
I hang all my laundry- towels, bedding, blankets, jeans- everything on hangers inside the house to dry. I have three folding “X” shaped clothes racks and I use the shower curtain rods over the bathtubs. I sometimes use the dryer to soften jeans and towels after they are dried. When I do use the dryer I use dryer balls to take out wrinkles and to speed drying.
I would like to try window cleaner
Great giveaway!
We use buckets to collect the water in the shower while it’s heating up. Then we use that water on our garden.
To go green, we have eliminated paper towels and napkins, and disposable wraps/covers/lunchbox containers. We use CFLs and have everything on power strips, which we shut off when not in use. We recycle, Freecycle, and compost.
Yes please!
Love 7th Generation…please enter me…”In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation… even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of a pine.”

I have been looking for some new green cleaners lately. Would love to try these
jason@allworldautomotive.com
oooh ooh ooh pick me pick me pick me ;-)
We always use Seventh Generation at my house. But my roommate decided to buy more dishsoap when we ran out. She bought a “green” brand but it is terrible. I don’t want to waste it… but I really want our normal soap back.
My green tip is to compost. Seriously. It’s simple.
please enter me!
green living tip- buy water savers for your showers and compost your left over food,etc..
Love, love, love the products….would love to have them.
I’d love to win this. I hate to think about what all the chemicals in regular cleaners are doing to the environment.
i really like seventh generation. i’m glad that this wonderful concept is becoming a fact.
I hear they have excellent products. I’d love to try them.
Love too win thanks
I’m a mother of twins, Nora and Dylan, there awesome little 5 year olds! But they get nasty dirty, outside, worm holding, come home from school where everyone is sick dirty. So I try to keep them clean, feed them good organic food and fill them with fresh air. Your products are a huge help and we would all love to win more to fill the pantry!!! Keep up the good work! Kate and the gang!
I’ve tried their dish soap before and was very happy. I’d love to try the rest of their products!
Seventh Generations products all have wonderful natural scents, not a nasty chemical one.
I already use 7th Generation. I would love to win. I love their products!!
My tip is to recycle, recycle, recycle!!!!!
Recycle everything you can!!
These look like great products! I would love to try them. Thanks for the giveaway!
I use Seventh Generation products due to allergies. It is amazing what is considered toxic in most mainstream brands. Love the washing powder from this company!
Thanks for offering this contest!
Well, I have to tell you that for quite a while I have entertained the idea of toilet training my cat via the human toilet.
Cat litter really bothers me. My cat is such a sweet one for letting me make the most of his litter.
However if any cat parents here really seriously have wondered about cutting down on cat litter…
It can be done. You can train your cat to use the toilet.
Checkout this toilet training site for cats below and just know that in South Korea, it was always always always closer to 10.00 USD for what we would consider a $2.00 bag in the states. It was a big ouch for me living there for almost 3 years.
http://www.karawynn.net/mishacat/toilet.html
Good luck with the choice if you decide to do it. Take care. Happy winning!
I use Seventh Generation laundry detergent, and would love to win this so I could try some other products as well!
My tip for going green is a very simple one, but if we all do it, it could make such a huge impact. Many stores (Walgreens, Wal-Mart, etc.) have canvas shopping bags for purchase for about 99 cents each. Buy some – use them – carry them with you – think of all of the plastic that won’t be sitting in our landfills. I also am a knitter, and I hunt the thrift shops to find lovely sweaters with yarn that I can unravel and recycle into a more modern, fashionable garment.
I want to do my part to be more green!
My green tip is when walking for exercise pick up trash along side the road. Great giveaway! Thanks!
Thanks for the chance to win!
And a green tip is use the dishwasher (when full) instead of hand-washing in the sink. Modern dishwashers use less water than you think!
please enter me
I have been a faithful Seventh Generation customer for several years, but have only been buying their diapers, wipes and dish soap (love their lavender scent…very genuine!) Would love to try some of these other products. Thanks!
I try to use things that will be recycled or thrown away anyway to contain other recyclables/garbage. This avoids throwing plastic and paper bags into the landfills. (For example, I save and use empty dry cat food bags to dispose of dirty kitty litter (and keep it (well closed) until it is full – lots of plastic bags saved there, right?!!) I also used empty cereal boxes or other paper boxes as paper recycling bins. I always have a slim box under the kitchen sink to collect the paper recycling for the week. Come recycling pick-up day, I just put that box out (and don’t have to retrieve a plastic recycling bin after pick-up). Thanks for the chance to win!
i love seventh generation products. they are great.
Seventh Generation offers such great products thanks for the giveaway!
Great giveaway, thank you for the chance!
My green tip – pack your lunch, including silverware!!
I would love to try these products.
Thank you!

Tip:Add lemon juice and water to a spray bottle for an eco – friendly air freshener.
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
With allergies and asthma in our family, green cleaners like Seventh Gen are the only products we use.
these are great products…
i like the dishsoap and laundry products!
thanks.
I love the laundry detergent the most.
Tip – dry everything on light for twenty minutes, stop machine and take out socks, small garments that are ready, then dry the rest (smaller loads dry faster and use electricity =)
would love to try these
I love the lavender scented dish liquid.
My tip is for a green clean to your stainless steel: Cut a lemon in half and dip the fresh juicy side in baking soda. Use the lemon to scrub the stainless steel. If you have a sink disposal, you can just chop the lemon half up for a disposal deodorizer!
Thanks for the great giveaway
I’ve been using Seventh Generation Natural Dish Liquid and I like it very much. Would love to have a whole set of products to try.
For those of you (like me) who have a hard time remembering to take your reusable bags to the grocery store, whenever I start a new grocery list the first thing I write at the top is “BAGS”. I grab the list, see the reminder, and take my bags.
Great prize, make me a winner!
LOVE Seventh Generation products!
I would like to try these products
Green tip – recycle everything you can. Be creative. We buy 50 lbs of dog food at a time and save the empty bag to use for lawn bags. Just tie off the top and but in the garbage.
My kids are pushing us to go green.
Thanks for the chance to win. God bless you!
Green tip: reuse plastic grocery bags to scoop kitty litter, AND use biodegradable, corn-based, natural litter.
I love Seventh Generation!
green tip: consider keeping a small bucket beneath your bathtub faucet when you shower. It will fill quickly and can be used for flushing the toilet. Toilets account for over 25% of a typical households water usage!
I would like to try these products. Thanks for the contest!
Been trying to incorporate more “green” items in my weekly shopping, this prize would a wonderful addition to growing my green collecton.
I would like to try these, for a healthier home and planet.
Green and good–that’s for me.

What a wonderful collection to start with!
We just built a compost bin for Earth day and I’m really looking forward to making a difference that way. It wasn’t too hard to do either! I recommend it!
I am using Seventh Generation chlorine-free diapers for my two daughters. Never disappointed! I guess other SG products won’t too!
I’ve heard such good things about these products. Great giveaway!
I would love to try these products since they eco-friendly!
We have bought our own insulated water bottle and put filtered water in it instead of buying bottled water which is bad for the environment.
I have heard of these products and would love to try them
We just came back from a clean-up of a local lake. We took our own water bottles, so that we wouldn’t need water bottle.
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Seventh Generation! I’d love to try their products.
My green living tip is unplugging computer and cell phone chargers after the battery is full. Even after they’re done charging, they’re still using electricity!
Thanks for the giveaway! What a great set of products.
My green living tip is to clear slow drains with a combination of vinegar, baking soda, and boiling water (like a science class volcano). Make healthier than those drain cleaners.
I would love to try this since we are new at going green.
My green living tip — reuse those cardboard sleeves when getting coffee. No need to get a new one every time!

I would love to be able to try out this brand of green cleaners!
Install a garbage disposal system if you are unable to compost or don’t want to compost. It is better for the environment to dispose of food waste that way then to just throw it out.
nice prize ty

These are great! I hate the chemical smell of normal cleaners and I would love to have “green” cleaning products.

My tip for Earth Day is stop your bills from coming in the mail and pay them online. Not only is it more convenient but it saves a ton of paper. It’s amazing how much paper is wasted with the phone bill and the car insurance bills being 20 pages long!
Go green tip-print double sided. Ask your kids’ teachers if they can turn in homework double sided, when you’re printing directions, anything just print on both sides.
My earth day tip is to find someone to car pool with. If there isn’t someone at work you can do it with then there are websites you can go to to find someone to share a ride with. Save gas money and get to use carpool lane.
My eco tip is to pledge to go vegetarian just 1 day per week. This saves a lot of money and lessens your impact on the environment. Plus, once you go veg for one day you can expand from there.
My tip for everyone is to wash their laundry in cold water. You really don’t need to use hot water and you’ll save a lot of energy by washing all loads in cold water.
My eco tip is if you do not have any eco-friendly products try to find as many toxic free ways of cleaning as possible. Water and vinegar clean windows beautifully and you do not get those streaks which are so annoying. If you find any ants which love to come inside in summer, just put a little salt on the windowsill or in a corner. It gets rid of ants and there it is completely toxic free.
I have never heard of this product.I would like to win it to give it a try.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My tip is..ride a bike to work.
I’m following on twitter. I tweeted the giveaway.

I love their eco friendly products!
My eco tip is to consider making a compost pile!
Would love to try these products. I’m starting to think more about how I can keep all the chemicals away from my family.
My tip is to set up a clothes line in your backyard. Easy way to cut out a chunk of energy used each month.
I’ve been meaning to get started with these.
great giveaway, I’ve been wanting to try these
cfl bulbs last so much longer
I have been wanting to try this for a long time. Thank you
The green tip that we use the most at our house is the energy efficient light bulbs. THank you
I’ve been slowly replacing my cleaning products with “greener” alternatives, so this prize would really help. thanks.
Thanks for the chance!
Green Living Tip: Baking soda is great for exfoliating your face. Put a teaspoon or two in the palm of your hand and mix to form a paste with water (you can also add a bit of facewash to the mixture). GENTLY rub the mixture in a circular motion all over your face and neck, then rinse. I do his twice a week, and I love how smooth and soft it makes my skin feel.
I love how these products smell. I would love to have them. Thanks!
My green tip is: instead of running your tap water for a minute to make it cold to drink, fill a jug of water and keep it in the fridge for an icy cold drink. Use a refillable water bottle and you can eliminate buying water.
Great assortment of products there.
Going Green was our number one Resolution this New Year. We have made great strides from recycling/reusing everything we can, given up bottled water, growing our own organic herbs and veggies and composting.
But we still have a long way to go! Winning this prize would be a major help for us during this very tight budget time!
Love the Polly the Polar Bear idea for my kinders too! 7th gen. rocks!
I’d love to win this!
My green tip: Instead of buying plastic water bottles that are bad for the environment, buy a reusable water bottle and water filtration pitcher.
This would be great to try. Now maybe the kinder can help clean, since these are safer than the norm.
Green tip: Use a lemon and course salt to clean your chrome sink. Put the stopper in the sink, sprinkle salt all over and then use half a lemon to scour. Shiny!!
Great opportunity! Thanks…
I love 7th Generation products and would love to try some of their others.
One of my goals is to start using more green cleaning products so this would be a big help!
Thanks!
I am interested to see how good these smell. I love making my own cleaners, but it would be convenient to have some like this for quick cleanups!
I’m loving the seventh generation stuff…
I love the fact that green cleaners are so much easier to buy now than before.
Thanks!
I love these products. Thanks for the chance to win some.
My Eco tip is to reuse Butter COntainers or Yogurt COntainers to store leftovers. It reduces plastic use and the containers cna be reused forever.
I’ve tried the Seventh Generation baby wipes and they’re great!
Our family makes small efforts to go green and this would help us to go even further!

Thx for the giveaway! I’ve just tried the 7thGen Lavender and Mint Dishwashing liquid and it’s awesome!
