Just a thought..

If everyone is running washing machines and thousands of gallons of detergents are flowing down the drain ,how long before the ground water is contaminated with detergent..?

Detergent breaks down. Hence the word "Biodegradable"

@whowasthatmaskedman Detergents can be both biodegradable and non-biodegradable, depending on their chemical structure. Generally, detergents with straight hydrocarbon chains are biodegradable (easily broken down by microbes), while those with branched chains are non-biodegradable, persisting in the environment and causing pollution.

@romell If you had all this, then why ask the question?😷

@whowasthatmaskedman it's a thought that with each passing year everyone is dumping so much waste water containing chemicals

Probably a lot less than the salt and ice melt we put out for snow
Isnt that what waate water purification and processing plants are for though, to take out those contaminants?
@romell i do too.

We basically live in one huge aquarium.
We have finite resources.

We are 21st century humans - we should be way better at this than we are.

I think, (and i could be wrong), our biggest dangers to the worlds water is untreated sewerage and agriculture run off, (fertilizers and shit). Too many large corporations and unregilated factories jist let their waste run into rivers. 🫤

@OogieBoogie that's why it's been said next waRs will be for water
@romell yeah, i did a bit of a dive into world ecconomies a few years back. At the time, there was the war on fuels, then it was information....and the projection after that was going to be food and water supplies.


Which is nothing but a confirmation of just hiw fucked up our governments and industry heads have been and are.


We should already be in a place where we are feeding everyone. There shouldn't be such things as famine and malnutrition.

But we are a greedy, greedy species.

Its embarrassing to be human😕
