LeAnn Rimes made a splash in country music with “Blue,” but now she’s gone green.

Partnering with a new concentrated detergent, all small and mighty, Rimes is telling a new generation that small decisions can make a big difference in the environment.

“Just because they’re kids, it doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice. They have a huge impact on the environment. This is their future they’re taking into their own hands,” she says.

“My generation did know there was a problem with the environment but I don’t think we completely understood that we needed to make these changes, and that we needed to take our future into our own hands. Thinking about having my own kids, and the world I’ll be bringing them into, I wanted to start being more responsible with the world we’re living in.”

She advocates for making small changes in a family’s daily routine, like turning out the lights when leaving a room, switching to energy-efficient bulbs and using cotton towels instead of paper towels. On the road, Rimes travels with recycling bins on all of her buses, so she can properly dispose of water bottles and glass. With 10 to 16 people on a bus, she says she’s essentially carpooling – also a smart option for families trying to go green.

“I think people get caught up in their lives and think that, ‘Oh, just because I’m doing it, I’m not going to make that much of a difference,’ but you really can. All it takes is one person to make a change,” she says. “I think kids are at the forefront of this green movement. I think it’s going to be very impactful on their life. Whether or not they make those changes now will determine what happens 20 to 25 years down the road.”
