Is Your Laundry Guilty of Pollution?

Most non-biodegradeable detergents use Alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, which end up in our waterways leading to the seas and ocean. This chemical interferes with the life cycles of single cell aquatic membranes that make up the bottom of the food chain.

Estimated detergents use of 1 household = 1.5 litres per month
No of households in Malaysia = 4,910,921 (2000 census)

Amount of pollution caused by detergents = 7.3 million litres or 350 oil tankers per month!

Do your part. Leave a smaller carbon footprint, beginning with your washing machine!
