Green Product of the Week

Lauren Brois February 15th, 2009

Ever wonder what kind of chemicals are in your laundry detergent?

Actually there can be lots of gross toxins that you do not want on your skin. Method laundry detergent is really great because it is not made of petroleum distillates, or napthas, like most normal detergents are made of. Its good to avoid petroleum distillates because they have been linked to cancer, lung damage and mucous membrane damage.

Also its biodegradable, so it does not contaminate and pollute the earth once its done washing your clothing. Just because the detergent washed your clothing does not mean its done washing, the chemicals are still cleanin

g, and if your waste water is not sent to a treatment plant then its goodbye nemo! 

Also its concentrated so energy is not wasted shipping and packing water. Its only $8. Clean clothing, no more poisoned Nemos, no petroleum distillates and you can recycle the bottle when its empty!

Also you can save more energy by using cold water

Bin Contamination

Lauren Brois February 14th, 2009

Hey you! Yhea you! Please DO NOT PUT TRASH IN THE RECYCLING BINS

Did you know that one bag with 19 pounds of recyclables and 1 pound of trash = 20 pounds of trash 

Please do not put trash or anything covered with food into the recycling bins, you’ll make the entire bin trash!
