Making A Difference

Every time you choose a Seventh Generation product, you are making a positive difference for this and future generations. To quantify how much of a positive impact Seventh Generation's products have on the environment, we work with an independent group to track the amount of petroleum, trees, landfill space, water, and pollution saved as a result of the purchase of our natural household products.

In ten years, we have saved:

327,800 trees
233,000 pound of greenhouse gases (the kind that contribute to global warming
1,313,700 gallons of petroleum
123,642,500 gallons of water

By comparing our products to traditional products made with toxic, non-renewable or virgin materials, we can chart the positive impact of each product. You will find the 'Making a Difference" statement on each product's package, and on the product pages within this web site.

In this section, you'll learn about ways that YOU can make a difference. Because Seventh Generation is committed to consumer education about the issues that affect your health and the health of the Earth, we also want to make it easy for you to find ways that you can make a difference.

Whether it is with the purchases you make, the companies in which you choose to invest, the letters you write to your congressional representatives, your participation in school activites, or simply sending our web site to a friend, you can make an important difference today, and for the next seven generations.
