This film spoke to us! We are already organic-goers, use cloth diapers, recycle, etc., but the film got us thinking that we could do more! We are making a list of what we want to do… first the laundry. We use organic cloth diapers and our 4 month old daughter uses a potty for her bowel movements and a lot of her peeing (she pees diaper sometimes). It took us only about 2 weeks to get us all trained on her using potty, easy! So, we just have to wash her peed diapers and wipes once (no cold wash required). The other thing we began to do is to use the “soak” cycle on our laundry; let the laundry sit for 20 minutes, then a short wash cycle. Use the dryer only when it is pretty full. Too little things in there, things take forever to dry and too much, the same thing happens. We wash several loads, then fill up the dryer and save energy! This is while we consider options to ease out of using both these machines. We want to be independent of electricity, in case there’s a black-out and also to save, save, save!
