No detergent at all? Does it really remove stains? I am intrigued.<br /><br />Anonymous, thank you! I love Portland, although I haven&#39;t been there since 1992. Chicago is getting better with the green stuff. The recycling program has changed to one where there are separate bins for curbside recycling and bike riding and farmer&#39;s markets are being pushed a lot more, but as always there&#39;s room for improvement.InnerFatGirl (Taryn)http://www.blogger.com/profile/17445799960066487754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5718549031445691519.post-61843705921542285942010-06-20T11:35:56.488-05:002010-06-20T11:35:56.488-05:00Coming from a person who lived in Chicago and have since moved to Portland, OR (the greenest city on the planet), I have to say I&#39;m more than impressed. I am somewhat green (although nothing like what you describe) and you&#39;re probably the greenest person in the entire city. I especially liked Chicago&#39;s recycling program where you had to PAY to recycle, and then throw the blue bag in with your trash. I&#39;ll bet you anything none of it actually got recycled.<br /><br />Also, love your blog. That&#39;s right.

I used that back in the dark ages when I still needed to roam THAT aisle (PS, I kinda don&#39;t miss it.). <br />Like you said - must be comfortable with one&#39;s...ahem...self. And not allergic to latex. <br /><br />I don&#39;t use laundry detergent anymore. Nada, zip, bupkis. Somewhere along the line, I became a Bubble Girl and got freakin&#39; itchy, even from the free &amp; clear stuff. <br />http://www.gaiam.com/product/eco-home-outdoor/household/laundry/wonder+ball--153-.do<br /><br />Baking soda and vinegar total rock for cleaning most everything and I double dog dare you to find anything less expensive. <br /><br />PS - I still use paper towels. :(Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03130946775246181586noreply@blogger.com
