I Can Do It Cheaper Than Martha....

OK, so you want to help the environment but your sick of all these Greenies who are just in it to make money. I am here to tell you don't have to buy Martha Stewart's new line of cleaners called 'Clean' to do both. Take your Brillo pad for instance. You are not quite sure the old style is up to your trendy consumerism that is going through necessary change, so you buy the plastic 3M ones instead thinking it looks like it might be a better solution. The original steel wool from the hardware store is your answer. Sure they had to make the steel wool, but once it breaks down with usage and time it becomes the earth's own minerals free of man made chemical compounds. Natures way baby! Environmental safe way for you to clean your desired earthly possessions in an earth friendly manner. Steel wool and a drop or two of dish soap, I like the Natural Almond from Earth Friendly Products and is sold at my neighborhood OSH for under $3. Its a sure winner and the price won't find you wanting when it comes to good quality for little money. How much is Martha's brand? $5? And Earth Friendly is a USA MADE brand. I have a very hard time finding anything NOT made in China in the high end stores. You know, the Macy's, Nordroms, Kohl's....I rest my case. Support your local neighbors and local hardware store owners first. Some Ace Hardware are local owner stores and franchise operated. Closest thing besides the small ones hidden in the corner's. Stop shopping the great American way and do your own thinking. If you are the herd going to Target, you might be who I'm talking about.  Localities survive in this economy if you support your neighbors. Martha is not my neighbor.
