Environmental Laundry

Most people never even think about laundry and how it affects our environment and even our bodies. Many people grab $1.75 for wash & drying and thats about it. Throw it in the wash with some detergent and then the dryer with a dryer sheet.

Let's be smarter than that! When you wash your clothes many harmful chemicals are running out of your machines and polluting our environment. Not only that, but the harmful chemicals found in detergent and dryer sheets contain harsh irritants that are toxic to the human body.

So what are the alternatives? Glad you asked. There are some really good ones out there that are green, and with less human impact on the environment and our bodies.

My favorite is by Seventh Generation, and it is widely popular and carried by most Rite-Aid Pharmacies, and CVS's, local markets, & TARGET! So you can find it.

And lastly my vote is to ditch those dryer sheets. Who really needs them anyway? What is a little static cling? Do the world a favor, and start drying green. And maybe buy a clothes line if you don't live in a 5th avenue apartment.

All joking aside, there are ways that you can help to cut down on the footprint created by just doing your laundry.
