So, I decided some months ago to not only switch to a natural brand of laundry detergent, but also to one that is packaged in unbleached carton made from 100% recycled material. I’m sure there are lots of brands but this one happens to be Nature Clean. it’s hypoallergenic, you can use it in front loaders, it’s septic safe, biodegrades within 28 days and is the only laundry powder to be certified by Environment Canada’s EcoLogo program. Non of the ingredients are toxic and it actually washes the same as regular brands, if not better! And I think, for the amount of washes you get out of it - 58 loads per 7.5 lbs - it’s even cheaper in the long run. Let me know if you’ve tried something along these lines!

I like using products that are less harmful as well, but I do resent having to pay higher prices for them. Case in point — compostable dog poop bags. One of these tiny things can cost more than one large compost bin liner! (and I can use 3 during a walk). This is an example of an industry taking advantage of our desire to be green.
