		<description>I agree knowledge is power in this kind of a situation. It&#039;s not that hard to actually learn what&#039;s in the products you use. Internet does wonders. http://www.newsy.com/videos/the_problem_of_greenwashing</description>

		<description>Sandra:  

I appreciate your comment and agree that a point of entry must exist in order for all companies to enter this niche market.  The problem is when the standards of a niche market are compromised to accommodate that point of entry for companies, of any scale, to enter.  If mom and pop companies have been making clean, safe and truly natural products for decades, there is no reason why a monolith, such as Clorox, cannot move in that direction, at least for there Green Works line.  Even the one product line they came out with does not reach the standards for a consumer that is aware of their personal health and that of the environment - that is the issue at hand.  Thank you for your thoughts and opening the conversation - its critical that we are all educated.</description>

		<description>I appreciate this article, but tend, for practical reasons, to see things more like Hunter Lovins.  Until we change a lot of laws governing corporate behavior, businesses like Clorox will never be able to take a wholesale step toward sustainability because the financial result of such abrupt change would likely put them squarely at odds with their shareholders and create enormous liability.  On the other hand, success of a niche product like GreenWorks will lead to more change.  Even Ray Anderson will tell you that his &quot;shift&quot; did not happen overnight, and his company will never be 100 % sustainable.  Now the question is, will Clorox do the right thing and implement a plan to move from step 1 to step 2, etc.</description>
