I was reading an old issue of Domino Magazine last night and it was a "green" issue.. talking about all these ways to be green in your life. Most of them were about wearing clothes made out of natural products...
1. Who has the money to wear a $1000 hemp skirt? Do they even sell a lot of this stuff in Omaha? Why is this stuff so expensive!
2.I recently bought some laundry detergent from Costco that was environmentally good or whatever. and apparently it is more concentrated and I don't have to use as much. When I was reading the magazine last night they wrote about another laundry detergent that is apparently so awesome and concentrated that it could replace 3 bottles of regular laundry detergent. (It is called Shaklee. www.shaklee.com. Its $14.95 a bottle, but rated the best out of all the ones they tried for stain removal.)I know this.. and yet I am scared to only put the little amount it. I can't fully trust that it is going to get the clothes as clean. Does anything else feel this way? I am still thinking.. "more is better"...
3. My next door neighbor only eats organic food and she says that organic apples don't turn yellow like regular ones. Does anyone know about this?
4. They talked about using cloth napkins instead of papertowels and napkins.. and I have some and I like that.. but they are white and I would need to use bleach to clean them. Do you guys know which bleach is good for the environment and works just as good?
What other products do you use?
What other products do you guys use?

I too get more concentrated detergent (though not environmentally friendly yet) and I have a hard time not putting as much in as before...They say less is more, but does that hold true to soap? Also, I use recycled paper to print on. I use a lot of paper in my business so I thought, hey' why not buy recyced paper to print on?!?! I use a few of the clorox Green Works cleaners as well as "Simple Green" it's concentrated and you dilute it with water. John has replaced almost ALL of our lightbulbs with the CFL's
Um, we don't eat all organic, but as much as we can. Shopping for produce at Hy-vee is good as their produce manager told me a big portion of it is from local farmers. I use the concentrated All, and think it's okay. I would totally like to eventually get all my household products to natural stuff. Blame it on my OCD-ness...I get panicky when I think I'm producing too much waste or using chemically stuff and are maybe hurting Antonia's little lungs. We just try to recycle, reduce, reuse. I still want my garden next year!!
