seventh_gen_logo Replacing what’s currently under your sink with products that are non-toxic and safe for the environment is easier than ever with Seventh Generation’s environmentally friendly cleaning products.

Leading the “responsible cleaning” charge for the past twenty years, Seventh Generation has tapped into the disinfecting power of the herb thyme, to introduce an EPA registered line of disinfecting sprays and wipes that kill germs naturally!

The new line of botanical disinfectant cleaners includes a multi-surface cleaning spray, bathroom cleaning spray and wipes.

The disinfectants contain thymol, a component of the herb thyme, and can be used on hard surfaces including counter tops, plastic cutting boards, highchair trays as well as children’s toys. Best of all, they kill over 99.99 percent of germs naturally and are effective against the Influenza A Virus, including H1N1.

Seventh Generation has partnered with eco-lifestyle consultant and author, Alexandra Zissu, whose new book, The Conscious Kitchen, discusses what’s good for your health, what’s good for the planet and what tastes great. Her book also includes great tips on maintaining a green and healthy kitchen.

I’ve stopped buying the 20 packs of paper towels from the warehouse clubs. I bought a recycled material sponge and sanitize it in the dishwasher on a daily basis. Saves tons of paper.


Leigh Anne Williams on 6 April, 2010 at 10:37 am

I have begun taking my recyclables to the recycle center once a week. It is amazing how much trash we generate that can be recycled!


Kylie on 6 April, 2010 at 11:39 am

The best thing I’ve done for the environment this year was adding additional capacity to my rainwater harvesting system of tanks. I can now capture up to 3400 gallons! And, if we get a break between storms and I use the water for my trees and garden, I can capture even more!


Kelly Ann T. on 8 April, 2010 at 4:19 pm

I no longer use paper plates or napkins. I got rid of my table cloth and now I use wipeable placemats.

So far the biggest thing has been sorting through the large amount of things left in a rent house and preparing them for Goodwill instead of just carting them to the dump. Good for the environment and my tax return!
