Environmental Issues
DF035-Les Produits Nettoyants: PLANÈTE PRISE 2 est une série documentaire
qui traite de consommation écologique. En compagnie de RosaLee Jacques et sa famille,
nous examinons les impacts environnementaux des gestes que nous posons dans
chacune des pièces de nos maisons. Filmées partout à travers le Québec, ces émissions
vous entraînent au coeur des solutions, à la rencontre des protagonistes du changement.
Dans cet épisode, on est dans la salle de lavage, et on s'ilintéresse aux produits nettoyants. Nettoyer, c'est polluer. Pour faire briller notre quotidien, nous utilisons des produits chimiques, hautement toxiques, qui s'accumulent peu à peu dans l'environement.
Et pourtant il existe déjà, sur le marché, une grande variété de produits qui lavent tout en
douceur.Pétrochimique, oléochimique, biotechnologique....apprenez à faire la différence.
