I have many "Green" products from organic farmed ingredients in vitamins to all natural cleaners.  People should also realize that laundry detergents degrade clothing fibers faster and wear out washing machine parts too, unless the ingredients are biodegradable breaking down completely in the water.  Not all liquid detergents do this either.  Remember all factories have a tolerance that still allows for some chemicals to stay in the detergent that over time wears out these things.  You can prevent that with a higher biodegradable product, therefore saving money over the long term in clothes, towels, bedding, and machine repairs.  I found it amazing that people don't really think about these things, and then have to spend extra money later on replacing items worn out faster, or repairing the washer.  This means justifying spending less on lower quality today will cost more tomorrow when you have to replace those towels sooner, than if you spend a few cents more now to keep them lasting longer.  I'm far from rich and now I use only the 100% biodegradable detergent, all fabric bleach, and the all purpose cleaner, which I love.  I will change over to all the natural products one at a time as I can afford to.  I think everyone should do that within their means helping the earth and your own life one product at a time.

 

I am trying to learn how to help people learn about how natural products of any kind help their health and the earth too.  It is hard for me since I'm more technical as you can see at www.skybits.com.  I have college learned all the products and company, so I really can help people and hope to get the chance to do that.  I never was a sale person, but always was a customer service person who loves to make people happier in their life with my assistance.  Hopefully more emphasis in going "Green" now will help.  Personally I always loved nature and protecting the planet.  I go out of my way to carry recyclables to a nearby bin in my neighborhood.  Too bad many others here throw it on the ground.  That really hurts to see people treat the earth like a garbage can.  If you really do care about your life and the world around you influence those you love to care too.  Together we all can make a huge difference.
