Congrats to Janice! You won the prize pack!    As a mom, you already do so much to protect your family- buckling seatbelts, cooking healthy meals and requiring bike helmets. But did you know that the laundry detergent you may be using could contain little-known chemicals called optical brighteners? According to scientific research, these can cause allergic reactions, are toxic to small fish and other aquatic life, and can pollute your waterways.

This tricks the eye into thinking the clothing is whiter and brighter, and therefore cleaner than it really is. So how can you avoid these optical brighteners? Seventh Generation makes it easy because their laundry detergents are not only free of optical bright...
