Green Cleaning-Kitchen Sponges and the Environment
My Yoga Online has posted a new Green Living article by Michael Bloch, Kitchen Sponges and the Environment.
Most discussion about kitchen sponges is around the amount of bacteria they can harbor. A study that found some sponges to contain more bacteria than a toilet bowl sent people scurrying to buy more sponges and change them more often.
Sure, the bacteria issue is a very good point, but what about the environment?
How often do you change your kitchen sponge - once, twice a week? Imagine that being repeated millions of times each week around the world. It’s a lot of waste, especially given that so many sponges are made from plastics, making them yet another item in our home that’s derived from oil.
Learn why using the average kitchen sponge places yet another burden on the health of our environment and the alternatives you can choose: Kitchen Sponges and the Environment
