Tru Earth Dishwasher Detergent Tablets are the perfect example of a small step that can help make a big difference. We all eat. We all have dirty dishes. We all need to clean those dishes. And we have many choices to accomplish that chore: hand-wash in the sink, machine wash with powder or liquid detergent, or use plastic containers that they come in. Handwashing plates, cutlery and cookware seems like a huge waste of precious water supplies, especially in those areas where droughts linger on. Some detergents contain harsh chemicals or come in big plastic jugs that will end up as a mountain of waste in a landfill or spoiling the oceans and endangering marine wildlife.
