My employer will be having a cookout/picnic this summer. It would be nice to use green paper products!

I could totally use these for a berry picking party!

I am pretty new to green living. I haven't tried 7th Generation yet, but I would love to.

July is full of beach picnics for us so we would put these to good use.

I joined a Families and Schools Together (FAST) group, which evolved into a FASTworks group. We're to meet once a month, and in the summertime we'll save a lot of money by having picnics and the like. It'd be handy to have something like these Seventh Generation products to bring, so I can show the other eight families what they're like (and find out myself!), and maybe begin a tradition of keeping a supply for the group.

We often have large family gatherings at the beach and nobody wants to do dishes or laundry, so paper plates and plastic utensils get used...And oh, the guilt I feel! I'd love to take these items to the beach with us so I don't have to badger people to rinse and reuse their forks and paper towels...

We are planning a fourth of July as well as an end-pf-summer picnic for family and friends at our house. I am a huge fan of Seventh Generation products, but a lot of my friends think I'm crazy. I get a lot of the "eww...recycled toilet paper!" comments from them. I love being able to let them (and my husband :) use a product, love it, and then tell them it's a green product. I think it's the best way to slowly convert them. I would love this package to help with their transition process. Keep up the great work!

We are planning my daughter's birthday party and I always hate seeing the big bag of disposable trash at the end of summer picnics. Would love to try this.

I'm throwing a garden party for my co-workers to celebrate the end of a huge project and these supplies would be a huge help - especially since I'm already planning to use recycled/repurposed materials to decorate, serve, and clean up to show them how it can be done!

We have a brand new baby and would love to take our two other children on a picnic!

We are throwing a big family reunion (first one in 10 years) with my Dad's entire side of the family and this picnic set would be a great help and allow us to do it with the enviorment in mind.

Hi,
Well, I have three kids now. Two daughters are 7 and 10, and are learning about being better stewards of their environments. My third is a newborn baby boy. I can use aaaalll the help I can get with a newborn in the house, so the way I see it winning this would help me teach my older kids about recycled products as well as ease my load with having a newborn around when my huge, loud, hungry Latino family comes over. Everyone's clean, healthy, and happy...it's a win-win situation.

Our house has been slowly turning greener every day. This would be another step in the right direction. We do a lot of hiking and camping, and these make much more sense to use than regular products.

We canceled summer vacation plans because of travel prices, so would love to stay closer to home and have some wonderful picnics to distract us and make it seem as if we are on vacation.

I'm getting married in August, and my fiance and I are basically hosting a giant picnic for our friends and family as a reception. We are getting help with the food, but haven't yet acquired paper towels, napkins, etc. This would really help!

... other than the trash bags. The bags themselves were fine, but the tie always broke. I'd give them another chance if I got a free box of 'em, though - it's always possible that we just had a bad box.

And of course, our summer picnicking needs would be met with the rest of the pack.

We're going to crater lake next weekend, I could definitely use them in the trip.

Well I have two little nieces that have never been on a proper picnic. This would motivate the family to take a mini trip :)

Seeking out greener options for my family. This package would be great for the biking to a picnic daytrips this summer.

I am one of two organizers for a camp for blind and visually impaired children, sponsored by my work (an agency for the blind). The camp is free for all students, including lunch. We will be going through a LOT of napkins and other paper products, I imagine, so any way to be greener would be great! I cringe every time a bottle of water is thrown away while we're out and about at an activity.

this stuff would come in handy for me and my family. we have a lot of picnics these days. when we spend a day out somewhere we usally pack a lunch because eating fast food or in a restaurant has become too expensive. thanks for the giveaway.

With your support I could have a picnic!
Thanks!

This would be awesome for the numerous picnic opportunities summer presents...

This would be great for picnics and even barbeques for the hot summer! I've already been seventh generation tampons and am focusing on becoming more eco-friendly. This is a great package!!!

After a full academic year of long distance relationship (Boston, MA to Evansville, IN), my girlfriend an I are finally living together. She found a job and an apartment in New York near central park. We could honestly use all of the above around the apartment as it is currently very understocked, but it would be amazing to have an entirely green romantic picnic with her in Central Park.

Also she's the only one who currently has a job so this pack would help out all the more.

Every bit of help counts!

I do use their products, their laundry detergent, toilet paper, and dish soap. Every little bit helps!!

I am a nurse extern working for the summer - mainly nights and weekends which means my husband will be entertaining our two young boys solo for must of the summer. He will be spending lots of time on outdoor adventures and could use all the help he can get.

We are a recycling kind of family and even the kids know what goes into the recycling bin and have been donating their extra toys lately. I'd love to be able to show them they can take care of the earth even when they are out having fun by using the right products!

We are having a picnic with family this summer. I was trying to think of a way to have it be as green as possible. This picnic pack will help, plus it will give me chance to explain to them why green is easy as well as important.

It's too hot to eat inside so most summer meals should be a picnic outside

I love my greatgrand son, but his sticky fingers are not good for my sofa - or car uphostery! He lives with me and he is 2 1/2 years old. So knowing that, you know that I can use all of the products listed above. (and then some) He likes to eat out on the deck, so a paper towel is his place mat. Napkins are a must, and who doesn't need garbage bags?

The AC in my house is currently broken, so it's too hot to use the oven and eat indoors right now. I need this for my al fresco dining!

We've got extra get-to-gethers during the summer due to work picnics, local jazz festivals, the big summer on the beach festival, grad parties and family bbq's. I'd love to use these responsible products for the parties.

I'm taking a full-time load of summer classes, and I could really use a picnic to remind me that calculus isn't the entirety of my life now.

Yup, if all goes well, I will no longer be dwelling in my stuffed, hobbit-hole like apartment. Unfortunately, along with moving into a house comes all the sundry expenses and $$$$. I would appreciate stocking my new home cupboards with these (free) products...or at least until my dishes get found/unpacked.

I would like to win this to help convince my skeptical friends and family that buying 'green' is just as economical and practical as everything else out there.

I need picnic support! My parents just moved back into town after an 8 year absence. Their favorite frugal entertainment is a picnic and frisbee with the grandkids. I supply the kids, they supply the food. It sure would nice if I could also supply some other things as well, for free!

My husband and I have chosen to stay in an older neighborhood in our large town rather than sell and live in newer neighborhoods so we can be the "salt and light" to the neighborhood if you will. So, most weekends during the year we have a yard full of kids from the neighborhood. This summer I have a yard full of kids daily! If my kids aren't home because they are at relatives the kids peer through my backdoor and hang out on my porch. :(

I teach school so right now I am off and can supervise, someone should. The children all have someone home but you never see them. The kids are at my house all day including meal times and no one ever checks on them. So, needless to say we go through lots of plates, napkins, and garbage bags to take care of the 7-9 kids I feed daily (only 2 of those are mine).

I look at this as a ministry but could sure use some products to help out. I'm trying to teach the kids to be eco friendly, using cups again, not throwing trash on the ground (their yards are littered with yuck), and cleaning up after yourself including your face (boy those wipes would come in handy). These kids don't have anyone at home that takes the time to teach them these things or even talk to them.

Would love to win so Seventh Generation could be a part of this neighborhood education!

I'm always looking for ways to green up my life a little and we are always spending time outside camping or BBQ-ing. I would love these products!

I need picnic support because I can barely afford to buy food and supplies for my family, let alone purchase environmentally-sound products, which often cost much more.

Having not been someone who has ever focused on recycling or helping to take care of the earth, now that I have had children, I am much more conscientious of leaving behind a good legacy for them. I am becoming very aware of our resources and of what chemicals I am exposing them to on a daily basis. Every day, I take my children outside for lunch for a picnic on the yard. What a wonderful way to continue to talk about saving the earth to use Seventh Generation products.

We have a new baby, and just moved to my husbands hometown to be closer to family. We're now also living on one income.

With all these changes, we've had to change our lifestyle too. One of our new fun activities is picnics and cookouts with the extended family and friends.

I'd love to win this picnic package to save money, have fun with my loved ones, and leave a better world for my children all at the same time.

Thanks!

I am throwing my son's 4th birthday party in our backyard and am trying to do it as green and as possible on a small budget. And we love Seventh Generation! My son wore their diapers and my 2 year old still does. And the wipes are great! In a society that throws the most ridiculous, wasteful parties for children, I am trying to show my children and our friends that there is a better way!

With Summer finally here, my divorced Dad has been grilling out every weekend. Instead of using real plates when the family comes over, he uses and wastes so many paper/plastic products that he'd make GreenPeace hold a rally in his front yard! He really hates doing dishes. Everyone often jokes with him, "Dad is letting us use his fine china again!" The wipes would be great too for my 7 month old. I'm hoping by giving my Dad this he will finally get a clue!
