Tomorrow at this time I will be in Chicago with 1,400 hundred other women that speak my language and understand social media, Twitter and blogging. I get to be a geek and fit in – yahoo! It will be so much fun and the long list of parties, meetings and happenings. Just writing it all down seems overwhelming and exciting. I’m so thankful to Stonyfield, ecostore USA and The Soft Landing for helping to make this possible.

My bag is packed (almost) I have some last minute decisions on what shoes will look good with what and still be comfortable. I’m taking a quick lunch from my job advocating for early childhood to share with you these random updates before I begin live blogging, tweeting and sharing stories on Facebook. I hope to capture a lot of great moments and share with you some fun stories.

On Friday I have a lunch hosted by Green Works and those of you that know me might have fallen off your seats reading this but hear me out. Green Works happens to be the number one product flying of the shelf and my belief is that it has to do with people being able to get the product and feel good about their purchase – not because it is the best on the market. There are far better, in my opinion that don’t produce bleach on one hand a market natural products on the other but I am going to be open minded. When they invited me to attend I hesitated but then realized this was my chance to hear what they had to say, in person. My chance to ask questions and learn more about their efforts or lack of.  I did try their new laundry soap and stain fighter and the stain fighter did not work for me. The laundry soap smells good but why is it florescent green? I have one rule when it comes to buying products that are natural and safer for my family and that is, if it is a florescent color it is far from natural. Why add the colors? Do my clothes look better or smell better is the bright green is in the bottle? I’m sure this is some marketing ploy to go along with the “Green” in Green Works but I don’t like it. However, I’m going to listen and ask any questions my readers have for Clorox Green Works.

What questions do you have for Clorox Green Works????

    I would like to know why they think I should buy their product over another more natural product (without any petrochemical). I’ve stayed away simply from purchasing them because I *feel* like it is “greenwashing.” I DO like their prices…I don’t like added coloring or synthetic preservatives. If they changed those things, I’d be much more likely to give them a shot.

    They say 99% natural but what’s in the 1%?
    Thanks!

    i’m with you. why do they feel the need to make their brand look a certain way? if they truly want to capture the green market, they should do it honesty and openly. i stopped buying their products when i found out they weren’t “truly” green.

    I would like to ask GreenWorks when they are going to make a better glass cleaner. Their glass cleaner leaves so much residue and smudges that I quit using it all together. On the upside, you can use their all purpose cleaner to clean glass and it works great. Ditch the glass cleaner GreenWorks.

    It is probably too late for your luncheon but I agree about the synthetic colors, etc….why not go all natural? The Nature’s Source brands are all plant based EXCEPT fragrance and color…why? That should be the least important thing IMO…if your cleaning power is all natural why waste toxic crap just for scent and color?

    The green cleaning chemical market is relatively new. So far we use 7th generation products and have not received a single complaint. They are not the least expensive however. One vital green cleaning chemical that is cheap is white vinegar. Head down to costco, you can get like a 4 liter jug for $3.
