 The Green Tip from the Sierra Club:
The main solvent used in dry-cleaning, perchloroethylene (or perc), is a likely carcinogen that also contaminates our soil and water. Opt for greener alternatives like wet cleaning (a kind of high-tech version of hand-washing) and liquid-CO2 dry cleaning. Or just avoid clothes that require dry cleaning in the first place.
Also, on Saturday, August 18th is the beginning of the SolFest. SolFest is the world's premier two-day celebration of renewable energy and sustainable living. They have a pretty cool poster you can download to advertise the event.Labels: dry cleaning, green tip, Sierra Club, solfest |
