In northern Minnesota, do the residents wash their clothes in only soap?   Or 
do they use detergents?   Do you know what is in detergents?  Amphibians are 
creatures mostly of wetlands, are they not?  Where do detergent run-offs 
generally go?  They don't run up to the tops of mountains, do they?

My sister in law wanted to know right away when she arrived, where is the 
detergent?  I explained 98% of our clothes are washed only in soap.  [look of 
shock]  But I can name the ingredients of soap and their ingredient's 
origins.  I challenge anyone to do that with detergent, which a scottish 
study blamed for the worldwide decrease in sperm counts, among other 
biological phenomenon.

I have never understood the willingness of people to abandon a proven-safe 
technology like soap in favor of a mystery-brew like detergents and not for 
the slightest good reason.
