TORONTO, May 8, 2013 /CNW/ - Seventh Generation is teaming up with Shane Koyczan, the award-winning Canadian poet and spoken-word powerhouse, to ignite the movement towards a toxin-free generation this spring. Together, Koyczan and the North American brand of plant-based household cleaners and personal care products are bringing the campaign to life with a charismatic masterpiece composed by Koyczan, A Poem for a Toxin-Free Generation.
This campaign speaks to a lifestyle commitment; Seventh Generation recognized the strength in Koyczan's voice and lyrics as a catalyst to help deliver this message. Koyczan's poetic justice resonated among Canadians last February when his animated video to abolish bullying, To This Day, went viral. With more than eight million views on YouTube to date, Koyczan returns with another electrifying performance to tackle the fight for the future of our planet head on.
Seventh Generation and Koyczan introduce Seven Simple Tips to Live Life More Toxin Free:
Chemicals of concern take a toll on the planet and though these effects may not be seen immediately, we know they await future generations. Switching to plant-based products is a small and easy change to make a difference now. If every household in Canada and United States replaced one bottle of 2.95L 2X concentrate petroleum-based laundry liquid with Seventh Generation's 2.95L 2X concentrate plant-derived product, we could save 48 million litres of oil - the equivalent to taking 30,000 cars off the road for one year.

About Seventh Generation:
Twenty-five years ago, Seventh Generation started as a catalogue business selling paper goods and cleaning supplies. We remain a privately held business distributing products to natural food stores, supermarkets, mass merchants and online retailers across the United States and Canada. Over the years, our business has diversified into many categories: laundry, dish, cleaning, paper goods, diapers, wipes, adult personal care and baby personal care. Seventh Generation has grown beyond being just a plant-based cleaning company, and into a lifestyle brand that surrounds the home, mom and baby. Through radical transparency, holistic products for people and the planet, our goal is to nurture life.
Since its inception, Seventh Generation has been strongly rooted in our mission to inspire a revolution that nurtures the health of the next seven generations. The company derives its name from the Great Law of the Iroquois that states, "In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." As a pioneer in corporate responsibility, we want our products to make a difference, from development through to production, purchase, use and disposal.
