 | | Chemical Safety Improvement Act Must Be Strengthened and Passed | | Seventh Generation has been working passionately for years to eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals that harm human health by supporting sound federal toxics control legislation, working with our industry to promote ingredient disclosure and use of safer chemicals, and educating consumers about toxics. One of our highest priorities is working for a strong, effective law to regulate toxic chemicals in the United States. | Read entire article  |   | |  | | Planning the Perfect "Eco" Picnic | | From blanket to basket, the perfect picnic requires very little planning and just a smidgen of cooperation from the sun.

Baby Sunscreen Great for Everyone | | naturalproduct makes this "confession" about our Baby Sunscreen: I am so glad Seventh Generation has come out with baby skin and body products! And with extra virgin olive oil! I really like this sunscreen, I have been looking for a natural sunscreen that is spf 30 that is all zinc oxide and that spreads easily, doesn't really smell, and doesn't leave whiteness. I use this sunscreen, and the baby shampoo/bodywash and baby lotion, for myself! | Share your thoughts  | | | From our blog:
Making a Home for Spiders | | Nation member hedgewitch added her tips to our blog on Natural Spider Repellents: Among most of my friends and acquaintances, I'm the 'weird' one who generally doesn't go screaming at the sight of a spider. In fact, I've actually "kept" one in the house from time to time. I had one build her web behind my washer (in the kitchen) and let her stay the entire summer. NO mosquitoes or gnats! Thanks for sharing the repellent recipe. I'll definitely give this a try. And for those who hate invasions indoors of ants - try spraying old coffee or sprinkling used coffee grounds around the outside of the home. Ants apparently don't like caffeine, or at least coffee, as much as humans and will actually find another way out of an anthill if you circle one entrance/exit with coffee grounds! | | Post your own comment | | | From Our Fans:
