My generation has seen many environmental changes in our lives. More cars, more packaging, more waste and increased industry have contributed to climate change and concern me for the future of my children and their children. Not all changes have been negative though. Recycling became the norm, the use of herbicides and pesticides for residential purposes is reduced in most areas and caring for the environment has become a regular discussion in homes.
Choose Environmentally Friendly Products
I recently shared Tide’s newest product, Tide PurClean. It is the first bio-based detergent with the cleaning power of Tide and when I put it to the test, it did the job well. There are many other things that we can do to help our planet and nature.

Tide Partnership
Tide is getting in on the action by partnering with WWF-Canada to support its “Count For Nature” movement, which encourages Canadians to help wildlife thrive by taking action to benefit nature. Whether it’s planting native plants, participating in a shoreline cleanup, protecting species at risk or something else meaningful, Tide wants to know the action you take to help the environment.
You can get involved by sharing what you are doing to “Count For Nature”. Until Wednesday, November 30, 2016 at 11:59PM EST, every time someone tweets to @Tide, sharing an action they take to help nature, using both #purclean and #CountForNature, Tide will donate $1 to WWF-Canada’s “Count For Nature” program.
So grab the kids and put them to work for the environment then head over to twitter to make your actions “Count for Nature” even more!
