In June, I bought a totally righteous Volkwsagen Jetta TDI. It’s fast, gets great gas mileage, handles extremely well on windy mountain roads, has ample storage capacity and cost me just over 25K, making it pretty reasonable for a family car. I love this car. To me, it represents the best kind of lazy environmentalist choice – one that requires absolutely no sacrifice and actually improves my life while minimizing my environmental impact.
Yet, as much as I love this car, I am ridiculously lazy about caring for it. And though it’s the summer months when car washes are in vogue, I went all summer without giving my beloved TDI a cleaning.
That is, until today. I’ve just finished washing my car without using any water thanks to an awesome product from Lucky Earth. The company’s non-toxic Waterless Car Wash product is fabulous. You just spray the liquid on, wipe it off using a bit of elbow grease and you’re done. No endless amounts of water running from the hose. No toxic soapy stuff seeping into the ground water. This product is easy to use, works well, and is good for the planet.
I’d kick myself for not trying it earlier except that even experiencing how good the product is, I still probably won’t wash my car again until next spring, so any self-administered kicks won’t do me much good.
Lucky Earth Car Wash is available at Amazon.com.
