No Water Car Wash?

It’s officially spring (halleluiah!)images4

With the decreased chance of messy snow messing up their newly washed cars, people are more likely to be putting effort into regular car-washes.

This year consider an eco-friendly wash, and go waterless. It sounds a little backwards, but you can get your vehicle clean and shiny without the hose. A waterless car wash uses a small spray bottle and two microfiber towels. Eco Touch Conscious Car Care offers this cool Spring Car Care Kit for only $24.99.

Growing up the Philly suburbs, I never bought water. Luckily, our tap was clean and my Dad didn’t get the point in buying a typically free product. (Who knew Dad’s crazy protest was actually helping the environment? )

The bottled water industry is an environmental termite. When you’re drinking a bottle of water, you’re consuming approximately 1/2 of that bottle in oil – talk about hurting your Carbon Footprint!

Why is bottled water so bad?
