Consumer Education

Seventh Generation is committed to educating our customers on the important issues related to a clean home, a healthy family, and a safer world.

You are making a difference™.

If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 4 pack of 400 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save: 1,450,000 trees, 3.7 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 5,500 full garbage trucks, 523 million gallons of water, a year’s supply for 4,100 families of four, and avoid 89,000 pounds of pollution!

Each Seventh Generation product carries "Making a Difference" information related to the particular product and how your choice of Seventh Generation products make a difference.

Additionally, our packaging explains such issues as the difference between post and pre-consumer materials, why avoiding chlorine is critical to our health and the safety of the environment, how the use of renewable resources benefit the environment, and why optical brighteners are damaging to aquatic life.

Our consumers tell us that the information and resources we provide have been instrumental in helping them make choices about the products they use in their homes.

In addition to our web site, we provide interesting and relevant information through our product packaging and other initiatives including printed materials. We publish "The Seventh Generation Guide to a Non-Toxic Home," a comprehensive guide designed to help consumers and retail buyers make better health and environmental choices about the products they use in the home. All of the information in this guide is available on our web site. Please contact us if you are in need of a printed version.
