Clorox has joined the "green" movement and made it publicly known. So why do they continue to make and profit from carbon filters?

Here is a statement from Clorox, "With the aim of creating a practical way to green your home without making trade-offs, each product contains over 99% natural ingredients that are biodegradable. Green Works cleaners are not tested on animals and use recyclable packaging."

Interesting.

Brita filter cartridges consist of activated carbon housed inside a plastic body which cannot be opened by the consumer for refilling or recycling. The plastic body must be land filled or incinerated each time the filter is changed.

There is currently no way to recycle or refill Brita filter cartridges in North America at all.

Time to do your part, folks. Sign the petition to persuade Clorox to make a change. I signed it. It's your turn.
