Earth Friendly Products Helping Taxpayers Clean-Up Algae Infested Waterways

Phosphate-free Dish Detergent Shaving Tax Dollars Spent Cleaning Lakes and
Rivers

GARDEN GROVE, Calif., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Phosphates found in cleaning
products have been found to be one of the most damaging pollutants to
waterways. When phosphates end up in our lakes and rivers, they accelerate
plant and algae growth. When the plant and algae die, the bacteria residue
consumes the oxygen leaving less for fish and aquatic life which need the
oxygen to survive. If the government steps in to clean the waterways, the
costs will most likely be passed onto the taxpayers. Fortunately, there's an
'easy' and cost-effective step that everyone can take, on Earth Day and
everyday, to rid their waterways of the damaging chemicals; purchase
phosphate-free cleaning agents such as Earth Friendly Products' Wave Gel.
Taxpayers and Earth Day celebrants who would like to increase the lifespan of
fish and aquatic life can learn more about Earth Friendly Products'
Phosphate-free Wave Gel online at http://www.ecos.com/wave.html.

According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the EPA estimates that
nearly $1 trillion is needed in critical drinking water and wastewater
investments over the next two decades. The Chesapeake Bay alone could incur
up to a $3 million capital project to remove the chemicals if people don't do
their share to bring the levels of phosphates down. Whatcom and Spokane
Counties in Washington State have already taken action preventing residents
from purchasing cleaning products containing .5 percent or more of phosphates
by weight. According to the Washington Lake Protection Association, beginning
July 1, 2008, in counties located east of Cascade Mountains with populations
greater than four hundred thousand, a person may not sell or distribute for
sale a dishwashing detergent that contains a certain amount of phosphates.
Other states including Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, Minnesota and Vermont
plan on following this endeavor with their state-wide bans going into effect
July 2010. Earth Friendly Products gives people the opportunity now to rid
their dishwasher of phosphate-filled detergents and replace them with
eco-friendly alternatives.

Earth Friendly Products' Wave Auto Dishwashing Gel, available in Lavender or
Free & Clear, for those sensitive to scents, is 100% natural, phosphate-free,
petroleum-free, 1,4-dioxane-free and is the purest, greenest, most effective
dish detergent on the market. This all-natural automatic dishwashing
detergent won't pollute the waterways, won't etch glasses or dishes, but yet
will clean just as well as Cascade - independent studies prove it! And at
$4.99 for 40 ounces, Wave Auto Dishwashing Gel, with a built-in rinse aid, is
priced to compete against the standard dish detergents so consumers can afford
to incorporate green into their lifestyle.

Wave Auto Dishwashing Gel is available at Jewel, Whole Foods, Costco's,
Thriftway's, Ralph's, Albertson's and other participating retail partners
nationwide.
