Default No hope for soap?

In message oups.com,
Chuck Gould sprach forth the following:

"Soap itself is
toxic," she said. "Even the so-called biodegradable soaps are
poisonous in enough concentration. People would like to think that
using a biodegradable soap is going to address the problem, but it
does not. As the soap biodegrades it consumes oxygen from the water,
and when the biodegradation is complete there are still some residual
organic compounds left behind. Among those compounds are 'endocrine
disruptors' that are similar in function to hormones found in birth
control pills. Fish and other aquatic species exposed to these
endocrine disruptors experience trouble reproducing, and have even
been known to switch genders and become sterile."


How many people have become sterile from taking bubble baths?

These people are in-****ing-sane.


Remember we are talking about the west coast tofu mentality.

Imagine all the things we did and *survived* while growing
up...................................things they are a changing.

Not everyone on the west coast eats tofu. I hate that stuff. Steak
for me please. I am an environmentlist myself and reading this
article makes me a little disturbed. The thing is you can't just tell
people no. You have to give them a better alternative. They said
that you shouldn't even use biodegradable soap because, even though it
is better, it is still not ideal. Well come up with a better
solution. I am sure boaters don't want to pollute the water they live
on or kill the ecosystem but you need to give an alternative.
SOMETHING here people. Those groups always drive me nuts because
there are so many things that are better for the environment that can
be produced cheaper and save money but these types of
environmentalists just say 'oh just be dirty and hungry'.

As an Environmental Studies major I learned to hate hippies. I can't
stand that people say 'you all should be more like me then the world
would be perfect'. I would say use biodegradeble soap and they should
invent a fully clean degradeable solution here. Seems like something
that could make everyone happy.
