The Tides are Turning on Detergents! A Consumer Awareness Hot Take

Welcome back to your favorite ethical lifestyle podcast, Know it All with Peggy Bunker. It’s time for a little Consumer Awareness Hot Take! In this short episode of the Know it all podcast, Peggy Bunker and producer Courtney discuss the empowered shopping and ethical consumerism needed to promote safe, sustainable living at home. Peggy lists four everyday home products that she has eliminated entirely, and she shares why and what she has replaced them with so she can pass her consumer awareness on to you. Peggy specifically recommends switching from mainstream laundry detergent jugs and pods (citing plastic waste, dyes, and fragrance loopholes) to detergent sheets like Cleancult. She also notes that Tide has launched plastic-free “Tide Tiles” largely due to consumer demand. Consumer awareness works! The tides are turning! She goes on to share her favorite eco-friendly products she relies on to replace three other harmful home products that are leaching microplastics and endocrine disruptors into your house. And don’t worry, she tells you exactly where you can buy these alternatives. If you’re wanting to reduce your environmental impact, choose eco-friendly products and adhere to your social responsibility to do better through empowered shopping, this episode is for you.
