There are great, natural products on the market one can buy. If Clorox really cared, they would have done 2 things: 1. Made a truly natural product to sell. 2. Not paid the Sierra Club some amount of money to get a greenwashing label. They aren’t – their product is not even truly natural. There are great, natural products on the market one can buy.

However, if you were CEO of Clorox and you wanted to stop making the harmful product, wouldn't you introduce something better and greener to replace the product? You can't just STOP making your top product and expect to survive. You have to pass the marketshare to a better product first. Is it worth supporting so they can make that changeover to a better product? I really don't know. How would you suggest they start making a change for the better? Besides, if people weren't choosing bleach, there'd be no reason to make it, right? First of all, I’m not defending Clorox in any way.

I have a blog where I also write about "green living", and reading articles like these really inspires me. I will be writing an article about companies that are "trying" to go green, and Clorox is one of them. How can you go green if you're still selling highly pollutant stuff like bleach? You can't on one side say you're green and sell Green Works and on the other sell tons of bleach! I love your site!
