When it comes to cleaning products for my home I have had some thoughts and concerns that most products utilize plastics in their packaging. I couldn’t help but think when about it when I came across an article that SC Johnson is launching Windex with Vinegar bottles that are recycled plastic that is collected from the world’s oceans.  

As the CEO of SC Johnson states: “With over 5 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean, conditions are continuing to get worse and worse.” “That bottle would be made solely from ocean-bound plastic sourced by Plastic Bank from Haiti, the Philippines and Indonesia, with some proceeds used to provide social benefits to people living below the poverty line in those regions.” Honestly, after reading that it made feel better that I can still continue my challenge without thinking that I am still doing things half way.
