Green Tip for the Week
|
|
Spray Away.
Although aerosols no longer contain ozine-munching CFSs, many still use polluting hydrocarbon-based propellants. And since each can is made fropm a collection of valuable resources that can't be reused or recycled once the contents have been sprayed out, aerosols should be struck from the shipping list of any eco-conscious consumer. They can almost always be replaced with products in reusable pump containers.
