Most noted is the fact that a standard garden hose, when used to wash a car at home, will expel approx, 100 gallons of water for 10 minutes of washing. Unbelievable.<br /><br />For those who are aware of the impacts of water wastage with the current drought crisis in several continents across the world, one hundred gallons of water is pretty much to save. A waterless car wash provides the same results of orthodox cleaning sometimes even better since most contain a wax that enhances shine.<br /><br />This can be a double edged sword, however since most cleaners contain toxins which are harmful to the environment. Companies like ForLifeProducts or Seventh Generation aim to make products that provide solutions for everyday living that are eco-friendly and safe on the environment. The lastest product released was the Rejuvenate Waterless Car Wash. Check the ingredients here: http://rejuvenateauto.com<br /><br />Wouldn&#39;t it be great if the norm would be &quot;waterless&quot; to wash a car? Think of the tons of water you could save in just one week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280959897579422820.post-81353352918087878092009-06-19T23:01:09.394Z2009-06-19T23:01:09.394ZI had never heard of solar powered illuminated house numbers and now I want to kill myself.<br /><br />But it&#39;s nice to hear that people liked the post, thanks! <br /><br />So maybe I won&#39;t.<br /><br />Everyone go and look at Fake Plastic Fish&#39;s site, which is excellent.

I followed your link from the Carnival of the Green today. Coincidentally, today&#39;s post on Fake Plastic Fish has a similar theme. Captain Charles Moore, who discovered the plastic pollution problem in the Pacific Ocean, is urging individuals to simply refuse to be a part of this consumer culture. I think you&#39;d love the brief video message I was able to record of him last week:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fakeplasticfish.com/2009/06/captain-moore-has-one-word-for-you-on.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fakeplasticfish.com/2009/06/captain-moore-has-one-word-for-you-on.html</a>Fake Plastic Fishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11070617520887713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280959897579422820.post-11269310852063028042009-06-08T18:39:17.936Z2009-06-08T18:39:17.936ZReally enjoyed this post. Looking forward to your next one. Love the way you point out buying green is really ungreen and how there is a real need vs our own crazy desire to just purchase and consume.Samantha Fowlerhttp://www.greenasweegrow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280959897579422820.post-43465827628448052602009-06-05T10:35:37.905Z2009-06-05T10:35:37.905ZExcellent piece, well written and with your characteristic point to make that nobody else has said.<br /><br />It would be so easy to add repair to the front of the reduce-reuse-recycle slogan.<br /><br />On the invented needs thing, can I just a sweary rant about those fucking solar garden lights?<br /><br />A piece of steel and a load of plastic and a light bulb, topped by a little solar panel. <br /><br />I just googled them and the top site is solarilluminations.co.uk whose front page says &#39;are you doing your bit for the environment?&#39;.<br /><br />They sell those fucking lights, they sell solar powered illuminated house numbers, they sell solar powered lights in balls to put in your pond.<br /><br />None of these products are replacing fossil-powered items, they are new bits of tat, additional consumption of products that did not exist before. As such, there is no argument to be made that they are anything other than detrimental to the environment. <br /><br />somewhere out there are solar panel factories that could be producing panels that plug into your house or the national grid and actually help. Instead, their efforts and resources are squandered on these fucking lights, and so more fossils are burned for our electricity supply.<br /><br />They are evidence that humanity is too fucking stupid to survive.merrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.com
