Here’s some great news for your next laundry day: We’ve reformulated our Seventh Generation Free & Clear, White Bergamot & Citrus, and Blue Eucalyptus & Lavender laundry liquids! Now each of these formulas is a dirt-defying 2X Ultra Concentrated Detergent. That’s a big deal where the environment is concerned because 2X detergents fit twice as much cleaning power in every bottle to reduce our use of plastic packaging and save transportation energy. And it’s a major development in the laundry room, too, because our new 2X Ultra Concentrated Laundry Detergents are specially formulated for both standard or High Efficiency (HE) washing machines. Our new laundry liquids are hitting stores now. Just look for their bright orange stripe on store and e-tailer shelves. learn more » Our Change It Program Alumni are Doing That & More! We’ve spent the last two summers working with our friends at Greenpeace to gather students from across the nation for a week of activist training in Washington, DC. Our hope has been that these movers and shakers would return home and, like seeds scattered in the wind, plant some great things in their own communities. After two years, we’re beginning to get a sense of what we’ve started.
Our Change It program has created a tremendous legacy of student empowerment that even surprises us. Exceeding our wildest dreams, the program has boosted our sense of hope by leaps and bounds. Here’s a look at just some of what our many new friends are doing on behalf of all of us: learn more » Bisphenol-A Gets Another “F” in Health It took until 2008, but Bisphenol-A has finally been making mainstream headlines. Though we’ve reported for several years about concerns over this common consumer chemical, public awareness hasn’t followed as quickly as we’d hoped. That may be changing with new reports showing that Bisphenol-A is more harmful to infants than adults and could also be contributing to the nation’s obesity epidemic. learn more » Patently Amazing: Caring Companies Place Private Eco-Technologies in Public Domain Here’s the kind of corporate largesse the world could use a lot more of: In mid-January, IBM, Nokia, Pitney-Bowes, and Sony banded together to create the Eco-Patent Commons, a public domain depository for previously private patents for new environmentally-friendly technologies. Patents in the Commons can be used by anyone for any purpose and the companies hope that by releasing them for free public use they’ll encourage innovation and a better world. learn more » Required Reading: Fixing the Toxic Failures of Government At its heart, The Non-Toxic Times has always been about exposing the failures of industry and government to put protecting people ahead of profits and showing you, dear reader, how the situation can be fixed. So it’s fitting that we tell you about a must-read new book that shows us how and why lax regulations have created a hazard-filled world for our kids, and what we can do about it. learn more »
