Antibacterial Soap = BAD
When are you going to throw out all the antibacterial soap in your home? From Natural News:
(NaturalNews) The current mania over putting anti-bacterial chemicals in everything from cleaning wipes and hand soap to detergent and toothpaste has resulted in the widespread contamination of the environment with two related toxins often found in these products -- triclocarban (TCC) and triclosan.
Never mind that in lab studies these chemicals have been found to disrupt hormones, probably cause cancer and spur the growth of drug-resistant superbugs. The FDA seems to think it's fine and dandy that humans keep pumping these substances into our bodies through contact with skin, and flushing thesetoxinsdown the drain into thewatertable.
At the recent national meeting of the American Chemical Society held in Anaheim, California, scientists sounded yet another warning about the clear and present danger of theantibacterialingredient TCC -- at least in the aquatic ecosystem. For the first time, scientists have evidence that this endocrine system disruptor is accumulating infish. The animals encounter TCC as they swim in water that washes down drains and flows out of sewage treatment facilities into lakes and streams.
And, no, this isn't some minor finding. The researchers found TCC has a "strong" tendency to bioaccumulate in fish -- that means the fish take in the substance far faster than their bodies can break it down and eliminate it. Because TCC so strongly bioaccumulates in fish,even minute and seemingly harmless amounts in the water can build up to toxic amounts inside the animals' bodies.

Big Things Blooming this Spring!
Wash Tyme is proud to announce 2 upcoming local events and a big surprise coming soon about new community partnerships!
In 2 weeks we will be at Del Val College annual A-Day (short for agriculture day) with specials on our soap and also Bucks Co Freedom Fuel doing demonstrations both Saturday and Sunday showing how we use organic chemistry to turn vegetable oil into biodiesel and our awesome glycerin soap. Great family community event! Click on the image below for more information:
Then the following Saturday May 7th we will be at the Care & Share Shoppe Green Fair in Souderton. Gardening guru Mike McGrath will be on hand speaking and is a real wealth of knowledge and quite a character. Come out and support other local green businesses! Click image below for more details:
Hopefully we will have big news at one or both events to share!! We don't like to count our chickens before they hatch so we are keeping it a secret but we are very excited about things to come!
Make sure to follow us on facebook and twitter so we can share our story with you.
