FUN STUFF TO LEARN:
Laundry’s dirty little secret: pods & sheets contain plastic! If you see the words polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, PVAL, or PVOH) on the ingredients list then that means PLASTIC. The jury is still out if PVA is 100% biodegradable. Most water treatment plants aren’t designed to properly degrade PVA. Consider the product, not just the packaging, when purchasing eco-friendly options for laundry detergent.
FUN STUFF not TO DO:
Would you like your receipt? No thanks! Paper receipts in the U.S. use about 3,680,000 trees each year. They are often coated with toxic chemicals and can be just plain wasteful. Next time, when given the choice, opt for a digital receipt or none at all.
