What people should really be educated is on how “natural” products are often worse than “unnatural”. Nature doesn’t give a second thought to humans, most “natural” things are deadly to humans. Synthetic products and “unnatural” products are often much safer for human consumption. Yes, people got scared over the pesticide deal with good reason. But it doesn’t apply to everything. People need to get over it.

More knowledge about each product can be good for educated consumers. Unfortunately, most are morons and wouldn’t even understand their use in the product or the impact from it. Furthermore–the common person only cares for the words “organic” or “natural”, much like the word “free” a long time ago. So they’d just think it’s better, even if the “unnatural” product is superior and the “unnatural” part really helps.

Good take on my article Paul,

Major manufacturers have an uphill battle with green consumers. There is an inherent(and sometimes undeserved)distrust of big companies in the green community.

I think the Clorox ad is a good start toward changing the relationship among green consumers and package goods companies really striving to be green. It will however take a quite a bit of work and there will still be a contingent of consumers who distrust any large company…no matter how green they try to be. The vast majority of consumers however, will be willing to listen.
