I was amazed to see Mrs. Meyers (www.mrsmeyers.com) and Seventh Generation products next to the usual harsh cleaners. Paul, thanks for the thumbs up on the Method dish soap. I will have to try it. I've been buying Ultra Dishmate (www.ecos.com) from Whole Foods. It is made just up the street, I try to buy locally manufactured products. It works quite well and the almond smells great.

They seem like an altogether eco-friendly company, for sure, and when I've written them with concerns (including asking "Is this *really* all natural?") they've responded at-length and in-kind. Their dish soap is, frankly, the best I've ever used. I will second the recommendation on method stuff.

If you go to the Seventh Generation website, they have a list of Target stores that are currently carrying their product.

On the other hand, they don't carry recycled-paper paper towels or toilet paper. Or at least the one by me doesn't. I wish they did.

They don't make a toilet bowl cleaner that I've found, but otherwise I have no complaints -- pretty inexpensive, they all clean wonderfully, the packaging is recyclable, and the cleaners smell great! Hooray for Target for being more forward thinking than the rest of their kind!

See, I have no magnets in my head and the way they lay their stores out guarantees I'll get lost in about a minute and a half. The last time I went there, four years ago, I had to take my then seven year old stepdaughter with me to make sure someone with a sense of direction could help me find the exit. I'm surprised you've had trouble finding white tea. Our regular grocery has carried it for a number of years now, in the asian foods section. The one I usually have trouble finding is jasmine tea. But I will be definitely be hitting Target for that cookie dough mix! Thanks for the recce. :) I don’t like Wal-Mart either, but not for the usual reasons.
