Hi,I have a question about dish soap.
I know that I can use the water for garden after I wash dishes.
Do I just have to check the ingredient whether there's phosphate?
Or,is there anything I should check?
And,my dish soap says"biodegradable".
What does that mean?
The bottle of dish soap should say somewhere that it contains no phosphates if it is a commercial brand. The commercial brands generally aren't great not only because they often contain phosphates, but because they are petroleum based products rather than vegetable based. I prefer "eco-brands" like Seventh Generation since they are vegetable based and contain naturally occurring cleaning agents. They don't have phosphates, are non-toxic, and biodegradable.
Biodegradable refers to things made from plant, animal, or other living sources that get broken down by means of other organisms.
Hope this helps.
Hi,Pll!
Thank you for your advice!
Here's the scoop on the coffee at Costco: San Francisco Bay brand ( company located in San Leandro) USDA certified organic by OCIA (does anybody know what the acronim OCIA stands for?), shade grown Arabica coffee from: Columbia, Mexico, Guatemala, and Indonsia, no mention of it being fair trade, price is $11.99 for 3lbs., great price, good coffee. Costco also has a plethora of other geen products such as organic soups, cereals, juices, and enviromentally friendly detergents.
Only complaint I have about about blogging is there's no spell check; such is life.
It stands for Organic Crop Improvement Association International
