CSJ Ecology Team Tuesday Tip: Use less detergent for your laundry,
and only wash when you have a full load. Using less laundry detergent prevents residue buildup that traps dirt, damages your washing machine, and irritates your skin. It also helps protect the environment by lowering the total volume of harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and non-biodegradable compounds released into local waterways and ecosystems.
