6. I remember when laundry detergent was powder and in bio-friendly boxes.

Now, it's liquid, heavy, and in thick plastic jugs. Much heavier to ship.

In fact, these days at the supermarket, I look at the rows and rows of liquid being shipped in plastic that doesn't need to be.

For the past couple of years, I've been washing my hair with bar shampoo (J.R. Liggett's; works so well I only have to wash my hair every other day instead of every day). I also make my own liquid hand soap (1 bar of shaved, pure castile soap brought to a boil with a half gallon of water; stir off and on for 24 hours and put in hand pump containers; makes a ton). I even make my own safe weed killer and my own laundry detergent.

I know this won't make a dent in anything, but it's my small fuck you to shipped liquids and heavy plastic containers.
