Its funny how many things you can see in your house and think what could i do to change this towards better? For example are the products that i use good for the environment?
Today it was my turn to do the dishes (we are four people in an apartment) and I remembered that most cleaning products such as soaps in the industry are harmful for the environment and for the human population.
Most of the water that comes from private properties are sent to special facilities. The clean water then ends up either at the sea or at the earth. That is not necessarily good. Chemicals and other products are not possible to be entirely removed from the water. The most disturbing thing in this case is that one of most important resources of water is taken from the ground from underground tunnels the earth has created to store water. And there is where all these harmful products end up. Humans, animals and trees are using this water and of course it is not healthy. Did you know that 75 years ago cancer only appeared to 1 out of 50 Americans and now it has increased to 1 out of 3? That is because of all these chemicals ending up on the environment and later on used by the human population (chemicals are not the only reason though but they do play an important part of it).
I know that there are companies which create environmental friendly products for the housecleaning and in general for in house use. for example cleaning dishes, for the bathroom even shampoos. People who feel like making a difference should look for such products. The only issue is that usually they cost more than regular products. But if you have the choice why not use them? You are the ones who are in need for water.
Prevent future consequences. Water is important.

Wonderful post! The cancer statistic is interesting. It's a great way to illustrate that harming the environment is really harming ourselves.
