The 90-Day Plan: DAY 80

DAY 80

BE POSITIVE and find a substitute for anti-bacterial soaps

The ingredient Triclosan is found in products ranging from dish soaps to acne wash and extremely harmful to marine organisims.

It is shown to disrupt hormone function and development in dolphins.  The implications of this ingredient are only beginning to be understood--if small concentrations can make it through sewage treatment facilities and into the ocean think of the impact it may have on your health!

Challenge:  Get rid of it!  Most soaps are strong enough to keep you clean and in some cases, killing too many germs can backfire by creating SUPERBUGS.
