Laundry Detergents - The Curse Upon Our Environment And Water Systems

Laundry detergents can best be defined as a cleansing substance, especially a synthetic liquid or powder that dissolves dirt and oil using Surfactants to remove grease from the cloth, Abrasives to rub off the dirt from the fabrics, Ph substances are components that have a high ph factor to stabilize the other harder substances being used, Caustics used to break up dirt particles, Softeners are added to deal with the harshness of other components being used, Oxidizers are essentially used for bleaching.

The vast majority of detergents being used today are of the synthetic type, although our society is becoming more aware of the detriment these agents have on our Environment. It Is important to note that more and more people are choosing to use more environmentally friendly products.

I am not blaming our water problems solely on the detergent as most of our problems with our water today comes from the industrial use of chemicals and their polluting our our soil, from the steel mill, lumber mill, oil refinery, farmers and the various herbicides and pesticides, even the Dry Cleaner you visit once a week is a serious contributor and the list could go on. It is the polluting of our ground, which leaches into our water table that is causing our main woes.

The main point I wish to bring forward is that we have alternative methods to produce and consume our every day products. With the technologies at our disposal, we can as individual consumers make a difference. By this I mean we do not need to subject our environment to as much synthetic chemicals as we do. Our laundry practices are contributing to our ground level water pollution and also the contribution to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) through the heating of the water.

Our society is single handedly destroying the second most important substance on earth. At present the World Health Organization says that there is about One Billion inhabitants on earth without safe drinking water. Yet the majority of us in North America take it for granted. Lets not forget that out Water Treatment Plants are subjecting us to Chlorine everyday. Chlorine is just a bad as the aforementioned chemicals used by our industries as it is also a carcinogen.

Enough with doomsday lecture. There are SOLUTIONS to our involvement in the on-going polluting of the environment.

Until next time: BE GOOD TO YOURSELF AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

Big Screen Entertainment Centers

Home entertainment centers, apart from providing storage space for the audiovisual equipment, can serve as the ideal place for a family gathering every evening if you plan your entertainment center carefully.

Apart from the creative satisfaction that you will derive from this activity, you will also be able to give a unique identity that will transform your house into a well cared for home. All this will require some planning on your part.

first of all, plan your space for the PC in the entertainment center. A PC is no longer meant for work alone. You can use it to download songs, videos, and also manage digital data. You will need a few hours of set-up time for connecting it to the entertainment center. This will also include a broadband connection, either a wireless or a wired one.

While buying your entertainment center, you need to keep in mind the size of the TV you possess. There are a large number of styles and sizes available in the market, ranging from 21 inch tvs to full-size home theater systems.

You can now enjoy the benefits of both the TV and PC at the same time. While the PC makes it easier to download music, you can enjoy music, videos, or movies on the big screen backed with surround-sound speakers systems.

If you plan well, your entertainment center can serve as the perfect place for the family to sit together. These entertainment centers have enough storage space that you can also plan to keep your books there.

So if one person wants to watch TV or listen to music, he or she can use the headphones and someone else can read a book.

Also, while planning your entertainment center, do keep in mind the space requirements and also you home dcor and furnishings. You can design your entertainment center as a corner cabinet, wall cabinet, or custom built cabinet.

Utilize your space well and dont stop at anything but the perfect fit. If it is a corner entertainment center that you have opted for, you can stack two or more rounded corner units and in this way transform this empty space into a compact storage center.
