The disinfectant line includes the following products:
* Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner
* Disinfecting Wipes
* Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner
Our thoughts: The essential oils, including thyme and lemongrass, give these products a plant based fragrance. The thyme oil smell is pronounced but not overwhelming. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to fragrances of cleaning products. I like the natural, herb scent of this new Seventh Generation line. My husband, however, isn't fond of the earthy, botanical smell. (I guess as long as he doesn't have to do the cleaning, he won't complain.) I've used all three products to clean my home, and I'm happy with the results. I used the Multi-Surface Cleaner in my kitchen to spray down the counter and sink area. The Bathroom Cleaner foams up nicely when sprayed on surfaces and didn't leave streaks or film when wiped off with a damp rag. The formula on the wipes tends to create more of a lather than other wipes I've used in the past, but I didn't notice any other differences. What I like most about the products is that they are manufactured by a company that takes environmental responsibility seriously and focuses on safe products for people and the environment.

If you'd like to try one of the new disinfecting products out, Seventh Generation is currently offering a $1 off coupon on their website. (Must first join the site to access coupons.) Learn more about the products in this YouTube video:

Best thing I've done this year?? I already use all natural Melaleuca cleaning products and I also use cloth diapers for my son. I don't have room for a compost pile (live in a townhouse with no backyard) but I frequently send my compost home with my mom when she visits :) Nothing to terribly grand, I'm afraid.
Just blogged about the giveaway :)

I am a follower and great contest! I try to continually do things as eco-friendly as I can figure out how. Instead of using cleaning products or solutions I use naturally made ones. My fiance and I grow some of our food so that our veggies etc aren't sprayed and things like that. We also limit our driving to going to get necessities once every week to month. etc. Wonderful contest!!!!

The best thing we've done? Teach our son (especially through example) ways that he can help take care of the Earth. Simple things, like saving water, turning off lights, picking up trash. I think teaching our kids is one of the most important things we can do to help our planet!
I subscribe. Thanks!

Every year I go to the county extension for Earth Day. They have free classes on how to create rainwater collectors and give away free native plants. I'm in Florida and native plants here are more able to survive without a lot of chemical treatments or watering. That's good for the environment and easier for me!

I got my husband to recycle.
I think the best thing this year has been my recycling efforts---not only paper, glass, cans,etc but passing my used things along to charities and buying some items I would like that are second hand
we started paying to have recyclables picked up instead of just trashing everything

Well, I do just about everything recommended for being green and good to our Earth on a fairly regular basis (I've got to get a bit more disciplined about bringing my own shopping bags IN to the store... they tend to get left in the trunk). Probably the biggest thing I've done for the Earth this year is to expand the storage capacity of my rainwater harvesting system to 3400 gallons! I can then use this water for my fruit trees and veggie garden (eating locally and very fresh and healthy!).
This year I've begun recycling more things than just aluminum cans.
the best thing I've done is teach my child to turn off lights and use the sunshine coming through the windows!

We started composting food waste for our garden.

Last week on Earth Day, I taught my K -1 class how to make 2 projects using recycled items. First we made newspaper hats. Then we made "green" reminder signs out of cereal box cardboard with slogans like : Don't waste water! and Be green!
