I noticed that my Method liquid hand soap either spurts out too much or too little. I wonder if their foaming soaps do the same? Good point, Debs!

Their dish soap pump spurts out a massive amount of soap everywhere, lending to wasted product and the need to purchase more was more often leading to excessive packaging clogging up the landfills. A green product is only as green as it's weakest point. Method = FAIL Good product but NOT green when you consider the wastefulness associated with their packaging.
