Dogding Plastic and Petro Poisons and Using Alternative Cleaners

[Emett]

Steel water bottles are a start.   

 

Where are the plastics (other than everywhere)?  And, How do you stay way from Petrochemicals in your life?

 

Lets also get into alternative cleaners... What's good and green and how do we use them?  I think steam and hot or boiling water is a good food-for-thought starter here. 

 

Looking forward to your input, thanks! -e

Oh wow!   Steel and Silicone Drinking Straws are a thing now.  Great options are already out there and this gets rid of an entire class of single use disposable plastic -in it’s full-life-cycle- toxic items.)  I believe cleaning up the oceans was one of the main factors in getting some broader public attention on the issue. Get them from Target, Ross, Fred Meyer /Kroger, and most point of use places (at least here in Portland...)! 

Clean with:   water, salt, vinegar, and or baking soda or borax, and or peroxide depending.   Careful with the Steam, it's hot!   I over-steamed the toilet once and melted the wax seal somewhat, it leaked! Gross! 

Elbow grease, sweeping… plus i sure love the vacuum cleaner!  :)
