Today’s Eco-tip is on our Cleaning Products! We use detergents and chemicals in our laundries, sinks, and bathrooms every day that are transferred into our waterways via the sewerage system. Due to the use of our detergents and chemicals, this wastewater can contain a lot of phosphorus and nitrogen which increases the likelihood of unwanted algae and aquatic weeds in our local rivers and creeks.
To avoid this from happening and help our local waterways, let’s use earth-friendly chemicals when washing dishes or washing your laundry!
