Living across the field from the water treatment plant, I may think about the process more than others. I have been thinking a lot more about what I wash down the drain. Not only do we want to keep toxic ingredients off our skin, we need to keep them out of our water….
“However, these chemicals persist through the water treatment process and end up discharged from water treatment plants back into surface and ground water. Yikes.” www.onegreenplanet.org
This is a good article to read to help give some perspective about what we are pouring down our drains. It is not just our cleaning products, but the personal care products that we use that get into our water systems. Lots to think about.
