I’ve recently been introduced to a brand called Seventh Generation, a brand that truly cares about the environment.
Since becoming a Mom, I’ve become more and more concerned about the type of products that I use in our home. I use less chemicals and I try to make more environmentally friendly choices when I can.
We still have a little guy who wears diapers in our family (something that we’re working on, but it’s a slow process). This is why I’m excited to have the opportunity in the near future to try out Seventh Generation’s Free & Clear Diapers. Free & Clear Diapers are free of fragrances, latex and petroleum based lotions. Their absorbent core is also processed without chemicals containing chlorine.
Some information about Seventh Generation:
Seventh Generation believes their products are healthy solutions for the air, surfaces, fabrics, pets and people within your home – and for the community and environment outside of it. They want their products to make a difference – from their development through to their production, purchase, use and disposal. Their Canadian line-up of products helps make it easy for small
decisions to add up and make a big impact on the environment.

Free & Clear Diapers (Sizes 1-6)
Free & Clear Baby Wipes (Tubs and Refills)

I think it’s important to lead by example, so I’m teaching my children about the environment and what we can do.
My best tip is to recyle
We are big on recycling and i try as often as i can to buy natural cleaning products.We are also big at finding used for things in the house rather than throwing them away, if you get creative you can make some neat things

Recycle everything possible…turn off lights…unplug appliances when you aren’t using them…walk when you can, instead of driving… I try to do everything I can

My best tip is to walk whenever possible
My tip would be, cloth diapers… eco friendly wipes, or just a cloth for that matter 🙂
I use cloth diapers and cloth wipes, cloth napkins, recycle, and line dry when it’s sunny out.
i use eco-friendly cleaning and laundry products!

If we can’t use something we give it away through Free Cycle or donate to a thrift store. We also recycle all we can and buy products that are not over packaged.
We recycle, for my store we reuse boxes for shipping and use environmentally friendly cleaners!
We reduce, re-use and recycle as much as possible.

If I can’t use an item anymore, I like to donate, re-sell, and recycle.
Start a garden!! Take a canning course….become more self sufficient and in the process you’ll become healthier too
My best tip isn’t one particular thing, but rather to add new things one at a time until they become habit. Start with taking back your bottles, then add in reuseable containers in lunches and work your way up to canning your own food.

I find my best tip for being environmental is to make it easy on yourself to be environmental. Example: I make sure to return my reuseable shopping bags to my car after shopping so that the next time I need to go shopping the bags are already in the car ready to go!
Cook from scratch! Then you don’t need to pay for plastic and paper packaging on prepared foods, or the cost of shipping water in canned foods or prepared juices, for example.
Use cloth diapers and then pass them on to another family when you’re done with them!
reuse things when able and avoid paper towels.

My best tip to be environmentally conscious is to role model eco-friendly living for your children. We recycle, buy things will less packaging, reuse, repurpose, etc. and explain to the kids why we’re doing so. That way, they’ll know how to do it when they’re older as well!
My best tip is to buy as much of your food organically grown and local.
My tip is so simple, just recycle as much as possible.

I try to recycle and reuse as much as possible. I also purchase products that have a lot of extra packaging

recycle everything you can
brendawitherspoon at hotmail dot com
my tip is that whereever you use (household)paper products, you can probably find a re-useable cloth alternative (Diapers, Feminine products, TP, Baby Wipes, (un)paper towels
We have bins marked in the garage to help recycle as much as possible. From glass, plastic, aluminum, paper and cardboard. The kids love it!

RECYCLE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND REUSE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
We recycle and minimize the use of electricity. I buy a yearly pass for our city trains and buses and I use it whenever I can.
iridia718 at gmail dot com
Love love love 7th generation! I often use they but are running low on their products
Remember that nothing is really “free’–not water, not paper, not electricity. Don’t just think about what you need when you go shopping, think about what you need when you turn on a switch, or the sink, or grab a napkin.

Turn off all computers in the house and at work, at night. Because if you turn them off during day, you just won’t get any work done.

Lately we have been trying to replace paper towels, napkins, etc. with rags or other cloth products. It saves a lot!

Recycle and use reusable items whenever possible!
I try to buy items with as little packaging as possible. This includes whole, rather than processed, foods.
My best tip is to try to use less paper products. I switched to cloth pads last year and this year I am making an effort to use unpaper(cloth) towels instead of paper towel.

recycle, use stuff with less packaging
Use old towels, cut up, as cleaning rags instead of paper towels. Wash and reuse as long as you can.

Recycle and reuse as much as you can. Start small and work your way up to bigger things.

We recycle everything we can — clothes, papers, cans, plastic, shoes — you name it. We donate a lot of things, but the things like clothed that aren’t good enough to donate, there is a place in the recycle bins for thee items.
Is this for Canada only? If so, I do not qualify.

When using paper towels for cleaning anything, if possible dry them out and use them again
shut it off when not in use, wear it twice and shut doors
We recycle and reuse all that we can. trinitygsd at yahoo dot ocm
I think it starts by being a smart consumer, choosing bulk product over bulk packaging. We do that along with making sure we can recycle as much as possible. I think that makes a big differnce.
get recycling tubs and teach your kids
