[O]ne of Simple Green’s key ingredients, butyl cellosolve, is the same toxic solvent found in some traditional all-purpose cleaners. The label even cautions users not to “dispose of . . . near storm drains, oceans, lakes or streams.”

The world has gone mad. Someone explain this to us.”

==========================================
Here’s the simple explanation of the statement on our label:
We are only trying to be good corporate citizens by reminding people that even though they are cleaning with a biodegradable and non-toxic product,the contaminants that can become mixed with the cleaner during the cleaning process may not be non-toxic or biodegradable - so don’t flush the stuff to storm drains or open waterways. I don’t know what’s so hard to grasp about that. Beth Daley of the Globe has been given this explanation before and acted as though she understood it. She has also received our full battery of independent laboratory data that unequivocally shows that the product meets all scientific and governmental definitions of “non-toxic” and “biodegradable”, yet she apparently refuses to read it. Just like salt (Na / Cl), you cannot break a mixture down into its individual components and assign the qualities of one ingredient to the entire mixture. If that were the case, you’d never eat or drink most of the items that you purposefully ingest that contain preservatives.
At our company, we like to think that consumers are smarter than the media - so we post our MSDS on the Internet, we do list that ingredient on our label under its chemical family name, and we don’t shy away from chemical-phobia.

I’d love to hear how you reached the conclusion that those two are related. And if you do have a good reason, maybe you should fully explain that to we the readers.
