Message from the Environmental Sustainability Committee – It’s Time to Act

Supermarket shelves are riddled with hundreds of detergents, soaps and cleaning products pumped full of bleach and other chemicals. Many of these products include “colorants and optical brighteners” which do not clean clothes in any way, but rather creates a very temporary blue-white illusion. Such deceptions can have dire consequences including health effects on you and your family as well as environmental damage.

To find out more about the effects of using mass produced detergents and soaps in your household and how you can limit the effect, please click here.
