Eco-responsible laundry detergent

It’s estimated that 700 million laundry detergent jugs get thrown away every single year. And the vast majority of those jugs end up in landfills and in the ocean… But there is an alternative earth breeze

Stop buying Plastic and Water in heavy jugs. Save space in your laundry room, get delivered to your home and save the environment by reducing your plastic waist. You also get fresh clean laundry. I am always looking for ways to reduce my plastic consumption and earth breeze seems to fit the bill. With only about 5% of plastics actually getting recycled the only way to make a difference is stop buying plastics as much as possible. They also have surface cleaning sheets, 1 sheet makes a quart of cleaner. I have not tried the cleaning sheets yet but have ordered and if they’re as good as the laundry sheets I should be very happy.

The Truth About Plastics

ABC plastics investigation, What really happens to the plastic bags you think you are recycling.

Colorado implemented a partial ban with a .10 cent fee on single use bags about a year ago and I think with good success so far. The best recycling is reusing what you have. I have always use my bags for trash and dog waist and was even excited to find almost 6 months into the ban I was finally running low on bags and will need to find even more environmentally friendly options over just reusing the single use bags. Lots of little steps add up. Whether it is filtering your water to limit plastic bottle waist or reusing everything you can it all adds up.
