Educate consumers about soft water detergent usage
Vancouver's water is softer (contains few or no calcium or magnesium ions) than water in other areas. Softer water requires less detergent when washing clothes or dishes to achieve the same cleaning effect. Residents should be made aware of this to reduce the amount of detergent used and flushed down the drain every day. Consumer education can be achieved by information sheets in libraries and community centres and/or through mandatory product labelling (e.g. information on detergent containers or stickers on new washing machines).
