Seventh Generation Products

Seventh Generation's added to my list!

Since I try to focus on cruelty-free products that are more readily available, I hadn't included Seventh Generation because I only rarely saw their products on the shelves here in Las Vegas. Seventh Generation's distribution is getting stronger (heck I've even walked into the local Walmart and seen their products), so I thought I'd include them on my list. Their household cleaning products are environmentally friendly and made with no irritating dyes or fragrances to boot!

Here is their anti-animal testing statement:

"Seventh Generation strongly opposes any and all uses of animal testing and supports all efforts to develop alternatives to animal testing as a core and fundamental part of the our mission and values. Seventh Generation has never in its history conducted any animal tests. When you purchase a product from us, you also have our commitment that never in the future will we conduct any tests on animals.

In 1999, Seventh Generation specifically chose to endorse and sign the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals (CSCA), the strongest (and international) standard for cruelty-free products. This standard is put forth by The American Anti-Vivisection Society; American Humane Association; Beauty Without Cruelty, USA; Doris Day Animal League; The Humane Society of the United States; and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Furthermore, Seventh Generation products bear the International Logo to increase consumer awareness of their choice to support products and companies that commit to cruelty-free testing."

Excellent!
