Arm & Hammer

I just read this on top of the baking soda box:

"Our Environmental Commitment. For over a century Arm & Hammer has helped the environment. Since 1888 we've encouraged protection of wildlife with our bird cards. Our boxes have used recycled paper for more than 80 years. Recently we've developed technology to purify drinking water and reduce smokestack pollution. Environmentally sensible products are part of our heritage. Century old Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and ... Super Washing Soda are environmentally acceptable alternatives to other household products. A&H Laundry Detergent pioneered the 1970 introduction of phosphate-free detergents. We remain committed to providing products that help you and our environment."

I can't find anything more than a general sustainability statement on the parent company's (Church & Dwight Co) or the Arm & Hammer site that expounds on that box-top statement, but now I'll have to do a little research to get the details.
