On a related note, we really should be considering how much soap/detergents we really need. Not just deforestation, they are a major part of water and soil pollution. P&G, Uniliver et al. really sold the idea of using A LOT of soaps to everyone.
My parents, born in India in late 50s, rarely had access to soaps and detergents growing up in the countryside. They are still very conscientious in how much detergent they use. It's a lot of bad habits that mega-corps have tried to push onto us.
- ip26 8y agoThat's an interesting perspective. I'm mostly with you- for example I wear things multiple times before washing them- but what about for bathing? Water just doesn't cut the grease & aromas.
