water bottle review
I had not heard this – what, do I live under a rock? I think it’s lame. Clorox is SO incredibly bad for the environment. Bleach is a horrible product. But, for bought products I do like Burt’s. I especially like their natural bug spray. I don’t know what to do now. Hmmmmm. I’ll have to see what Clorox is really doing to offset their nasty habits. Great post – very news worthy.
I was surprised too, and I’m not sure yet how I feel about it.
I’m going to wait and see if the products/packaging change.
I hadn’t heard this. It’s sad. I’m worried about Burt’s future. I used to really like their products, and I hope Clorox does indeed keep up with their green practices.
It seems like all these big companies are trying to buy smaller green companies in order to increase their “green cred” I’m still waiting to see if the benefits of bringing green products into the mainstream outweighs the compromises in quality that a big company is willing to make to make money. Not sure if anyone else knows but Hershey bought out Dagoba Organic Chocolate.

Badhuman, I didn’t know about Hershey/Dagoba. I agree with you. These larger companies are trying to increase their “green cred.”
i recently purchased Burt’s Bees pomegranate lip balm and it was awful. i liked it at first, but it kind of stunk and irritated my throat…(and no i don’t make a habit of eating the stuff) but, previously i bought the ‘honey’ flavor. after awhile i wasn’t impressed with that. i think it all comes down to an ingredient found in the list on the tube…’fragrance’. both were so ‘perfumey’. i don’t think a ‘natural lip balm’ should have fragrance added. it obviously seems synthetic. I’m not a fan of the peppermint either….too strong. almost like it burns my lips. so i am becoming not so much a fan of burt’s…maybe burt should come back!?
Hi Shelley. I like the plain beeswax lip balm best. They do sell a plain version.
[…] been thinking about that Green Works post I did at the end of February. And about the Clorox buying Burt’s Bees […]
I just got some of the Clorox Green Works dishwashing liquid. It is free of phosphates and bleach. According to Clorox it’s made with plant-based and biodegradable ingredients. Anyway, it’s worth checking into.
Hi Karen! Nice too see you here.
I have tried Green Works, and it’s not bad. Though I do think their agreement with Sierra Club is a little suspect. They pay Sierra Club an undisclosed amount in exchange for using their logo on Green Works.
