dry hands

washington state has started a new thing by outlawing dishwashing soap, which contain phosphates, from being sold here. it is supposed to happen over a period of months, starting on the eastern side of the state, but the husband noticed it awhile ago and when he asked the store people about it, they said they had no idea why the regular soap wasn't on the shelves. at any rate, the move to ban the popular type of soap is spreading to the northeastern side of the country and legislation may eventually happen which would make it national. the other soaps don't really do that good a job on dishes. we may have to go back to washing them ourselves. ugh.

  1. ok, i didn't realize that my comment posted to the wrong post. i'm new to the blogging world. here it is again,

    PRAISE the Spokane "smugglers" for seeking the 'real' dish soap and not that other crap. it doesnt work on dishes very well. I'm all about taking care of the earth, but not to the point of stupid!

  2. i agree -- like the toilets that have less water than they used to. good grief -- they make those bowls so that without plenty of water, stuff sprays up everywhere and cleaning is more effort than ever. that's not a step forward!
