Clorox has recently signed an agreement with The Sierra Club, the largest environmental group in the United States, to endorse a new line of household cleaners that are an affordable, more environmentally friendly option. The new group of products will be called Green Works, and they will be created from mostly plant and mineral-based components. It is chlorine-free, and helps cut the grease when cleaning. Although this new line of products is intended to help the environment, many critics are skeptical of this new partnership. One reason is because Sierra will receive a part of the sales revenue, which enables them to receive corporate money while also advertising their group cause through a well-known business, while Clorox might simultaneously receive a better environmental image. Critics also assert this new line will not help rid their products of their dangerous chemicals. It has been found that the “all-natural” ingredients included within the Green Works products contain a chemical that is found in paint strippers and cleaning agents common to standard household product brands that have received poor ratings from the National Library of Medicine’s Household Products Hazardous Substances Database. This is a considerable concern because the United States government recently fined Clorox $95,000 due to an illegal Chinese pesticides donation to charity.
