We’ve talked to many people during our 37 years in business, and we’ve found that one of the biggest barriers to using a natural product is the perception that it won’t work as well as a traditional one.

That’s why we’ve focused so much on research and innovation here at Tom’s—to ensure that our products are not only natural, but effective too. Let me share two examples!

We first earned the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance in 1983—the first natural brand to carry it. (We have the Seal on some of our toothpastes and mouthwashes and on our floss.) We even successfully proposed a new protocol to replace their animal testing requirement!

More recently, our research team, which includes dentists, researchers, and herbal experts, learned that hops has strong odor-fighting potential. So it was added to our Long-Lasting Deodorants, making them even more effective.

I don't want this to turn into a partisan discussion. However, I keep receiving e-mails from my very conservitave uncle telling me that not only is global warming a farce, it completely disagrees with the Bible. My question is, so what? What if global warming isn't real? Does that make it less important to find cleaner ways to live? If you are against people that are claiming to fight global warming, why? Please don't make this about right or left wing politics. I want to know who it would really hurt to do things in a more environmentally friendly way.

For example, how long does it take to recycle a bunch of old papers into new paper? Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, because surely not months, right?

Just curious…

This might be a naive question but why can't the rubbish which ends up in landfill sites be burned in a large incinerator? Surely that would be a better alternative than just layer-burying the rubbish in the ground like on landfill?

Russia just had another major oil spill, and I dont see much commentary about it. Indias rivers are choked from erosion and pollution, China is the second-largest user of oil. Why is the United States still the only bad-guy in the conservation-blogosphere?

My husband thinks it's okay to throw plastic wrap or little pieces of paper or even razors in the toilet and flush them. I've tried to tell him that it is not, but he doesn't believe me. He thinks because we're on a public sewer that it won't matter. Is there anywhere that I can find written information on how this is not okay?

If you don't know, would you ask an older family member?
I'm still amazed, it's such a short time!
My grandmother's house got electricity in 1945. Her house was less than 2 miles from the nearest small town. The rural co-op charged $5 dollars to get on the list for service, then the co-op would let you know when to get your house ready. People waited 6 months to 2 years for electirc, then the co-op would finally have the wires up and ready. A lot of people wouldn't pay the $5 because they were suspicious that the electric wouldn't come through and they wouldn't get their money back.
The major electric companies didn't plan to serve rural areas at all, because they felt the profit margin was too low. Congress set the plan for co-ops to serve rural areas and gave out government grants. The first co-op in our state asked for $2 million, they got $500,000, but that was enough to get it started.
Telephone became available in 1950. Party line of course!
Live well & do good.
