Seventh Generation

A couple of years ago I started to ditch the “toxic” cleaners for “green” cleaners, and one brand of “green” cleaners that’s often found in my home is Seventh Generation.

One of the country's first self-declared "socially responsible" companies, Seventh Generation is a business that operates according to a new and different set of principles and values that in many ways are a marked departure from those long considered "traditional." Its business practice is focused on offering people avenues to express their idealism, passion, and commitment to causes larger than themselves at every point along its supply chain—from suppliers and partners to shareholders, customers and its own staff.

I’m actually surprised that some of my friends have never heard of Seventh Generation before, and many of them still use a lot of toxic cleaners.

Do you know someone like that? If so, you should enter the Under the Sink Makeover Contest!

From now through August 14, 2009, you can nominate a friend in the Under the Sink Makeover Contest for a chance to win some great prizes!

One grand prize winner will receive:

• A trip to New York City for the winner AND friend, complete with:
  -Round-Trip airfare to New York

  -A day of pampering at Manhattan’s Green Spa that will include a Body Polish, Wellness Massage, Ocean Vegan Spa Manicure/Pedicure, and a one hour make-up application and lesson

Four finalists and their friends will receive:
