Most of the natural stink-slaying ingredients found in Odor Exorcism have been around for a long time (like, 2,500 years, in the case of Lavender and Frankincense essential oils).<\/p>\n<p>But they had to do things the hard way. The unholy way. The way drenched in sin. Repent!<\/p>\n<h2>Febreze bottle: enough plastic to choke a whole family of sea turtles<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the formula itself, there\u2019s the plastic. And oh, lawd, does Febreze love plastic.<\/p>\n<p>So much so, that, our good friends over at ChatGPT estimate that Febreze purchases result in 50-150 million bottles of plastic introduced into the ecosystem (via landfills, recycling centers, or litterbugs) every single year.<\/p>\n<p>Not to get all <em>holier than thou art<\/em>, but when it comes to packaging, Odor Exorcism is <em>holier than Febreze art<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Febreze: a false prophet?<\/h2>\n<p>When Febreze first hit the market, homeowners the world over rejoiced that their finishing touch savior had arrived.<\/p>\n<p>But they had been deceived, just as Satan would do.
