There's no better feeling than washing and folding a load of clothes fresh out of the dryer but, there are few issues in regards to the environment as to why such an innocent task could become harmful to the ecosystem. In most high-efficient and modern washing machines use up to fifteen and thirty gallons of water while some older machines use approximately twenty-nine to forty-five gallons of water per every use, which is a lot of water that could be used for plant-life, irrigation systems, and a source for animals to stay hydrated.
Luckily, the portable laundry pod was recently introduced to the market and uses only about six liters of water and a minimal amount of laundry detergent to wash your necessities with the use of a foot pedal or hand crank. It only takes about ten minutes total to wash, rinse, and remove your clean clothes to dry. The Laundry Pod is perfect for camping, quick washes, boating, or RVing.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
