Don’t get me wrong, I love nature and the environment and
I appreciate and respect the fact that I cannot just go around desecrating what
God has created for us. I realize how
fragile the environment is ----HOWEVER, yep, however…sometimes in people’s
quest to MAKE everyone comply and to conform to their beliefs there ends up
being unintended consequences, in this case, extra water and chemical use.
I am so irritated about the dishwasher detergent
phosphate ban!
What once used to be a simple task, throwing my dishes in
the dishwasher has now become a nightmare!
When I run my dishwasher, I currently use both cups full
of detergent, Jet Dry, Lemi’ Shine and a cup of vinegar on the top shelf. The dishes that get clean look like crap with
white hard water deposit powered substance covering every single dish.
Seriously, we are not allowed phosphates so we get this!
How eco-friendly is my having to pre-wash AND wash AND
re-wash every single dish I use? I used
to run my dishwasher once a week and maybe do a quarter of a sink of dishes
twice during that week. I am now running
my dishwasher once a week, doing three full loads of dishes, pre-washing, and
re-washing every single dish I put in the dishwasher. Explain how that is more environmentally
friendly than the old dishwasher detergent?
Yep, go you environmentalists!
Here is what I propose, I save the environment and
conserve in my OWN way and I’ll allow you to do the same. Keep the articles, the studies, and the
research coming because I want to be informed and I want to know of ways that I
can help out, however, quit taking away my choices, because YOU THINK YOU KNOW
WHAT IS BEST FOR EVERYONE.
After reading the reasons phosphates were removed from dish washing detergent, I have decided to quit using fertilizer on my plants and
in my yard and, I will opt to use manure instead. According to the articles that I have read,
fertilizers also contribute to the damaging environmental effect on
waterways. So, now GIVE ME BACK my dish
detergent!
Don’t even get me
started on the new light bulbs!
