As for laundry soap, I buy whatever Kroger has on sale from the natural section, not the laundry aisle. That can get expensive, so I buy the cheapest. I've never had any problems. I do laundry so infrequently that it doesn't matter much to me as long as it's environmentally friendly and cruelty free.<br /><br />The two biggest things you can do to almost instantly reduce your environmental impact are to stop driving and eat vegetarian. <br /><br />On tofu...<br />It can mimic estrogen, so women with a predisposition to breat cancer should consider limiting their intake. (because of this, I've switched to Rice Dream instead of soy milk)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430906729582358085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123460818686262606.post-3785995305871860092009-04-22T14:55:00.000-07:002009-04-22T14:55:00.000-07:00Mrs. Meyers is good - I love their scents!
I'm try...Mrs. Meyers is good - I love their scents!<br />I'm trying. Chris doesn't care - he ACTUALLY doesn't really believe in global warming. Yeah, we argue about it and then I just drop it because I just want to strangle him!! <br />BUT - we use a lot of dish towels, try to recycle all that we can, drink water from the tap, try to eat our leftovers.... all the little things. But I will say that I mop, and have for a while, with white vinegar and warm water. It does a great job cleaning, disinfecting, and is cheap! Also, it is non-toxic to the dogs, which is a big reason I use it. You can also use this combo on windows, with newspapers to wipe.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209533406055486161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123460818686262606.post-762195083467155902009-04-22T13:23:00.000-07:002009-04-22T13:23:00.000-07:00Great start!

Sometimes twice if I forgot I tried it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004178422343485278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123460818686262606.post-10419179305939609242009-04-22T09:05:00.000-07:002009-04-22T09:05:00.000-07:00I don't but the "greener" cleaning product claims....I don't but the "greener" cleaning product claims. The simple fact is that they don't work as well or if at all. I seem to remember reading that in a Slate article, that none of them actually meet FDA standards. I'm keeping my little stash of bleach when I really need to kill bugs (hell it's what we use in lab, well that or 70% ethanol).<br /><br />We do have kitchen towels all over the place though. To the point where I think they are slowly taking over every counter space available until one day we'll be swimming in towels. Quite fascinating really.Ellen Minthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208244458086146065noreply@blogger.com
