I'm a horrible shopper. And while i sometimes think maybe it would be nice to like all those crazy concoctions for bath and beauty; i just really can't be bothered. So, I decided maybe to give this whole "no shampoo" thing a try. AND if it works, how convenient would that be for camping. no more wondering if you're slowly turning the fish and other critters into image-obsessed consumers, just baking soda and vinegar...or just baking soda.... funny to think that the typical volcano science experiment is hair treatment....THAT would be fun to see at a science fair.....so, now having written all this, i am wondering what the environmental impacts of the laboratory production or mining of this compound and manufacturing components are. Honestly, i am not sure this thought has ever crossed my mind before. so, now to delve into the research:
...so far, well, so many things are mined....and mining always has environmental impacts....how can digging giant holes, NOT have an impact.....so what ARE the environmental implications of nahcolite mining; pumping hot water into boreholes and extracting the supersaturated solution? has anybody checked? Brief web of science search produced zilch....
