Why Didn't I Think of That? Wednesday

Each Wednesday I'll share a tip to make your week go more smoothly or just make you say "aha!" 

Use powdered laundry and dishwasher detergent instead of liquid. The only difference is the addition of water--and all the transportation, energy, and packaging that entails.

  1. Be sure to check detergents for non-ecofriendly additives such as phosphates. The EPA is now adding Design for the Environment (DfE) labels to cleaning products to help consumers choose environmentally friendly products. This way we can be eco-consumers both "upstream" and "downstream". To reduce packaging even further, I make my own laundry soap. There are lots of recipes for homemade cleaning products that can be found on the internet.
