[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Phosphates cause dead zones. A little cloudiness in your dishes is better than having a Chesapeake Bay that is devoid of life-- and that's not hyperbole. These problems are real, folks.[/quote] Yes, but the tiny amount that is in your dishwashing liquid (manufacturers had already greatly reduced the amount in the product), particularly after it comes out of the water treatment plant, is literally a drop in the ocean compared to the huge amounts of fertilizer and chicken manure running off of the farms and lawns on the eastern shore. Breaking our dishwashers won't come close to solving the problem. As long as farmers and home owners are literally pouring phosphates on their yards by the pound, this is meaningless. In fact, banning phosphates in detergents has done nothing to solve the problem in the specific watershed in Washington that started all of this. [/quote]
