Washing the Apartheid Way

Many times at my previous place of employment I listened to people talking about the evils of washing whites with colours. I've never been fussed whether my 'whites' come out pinkish, greyish, bluish or any other of those 'ish' colours.

This topic often brought out my usually lazy 'environmentalist' streak.

When I consider the amount of water wasted and chemicals used in an attempt to keep whites white, I feel heat building in my face and a weight forming on my heart. If you want your clothes to glow in broad daylight why not invest in some High-Vis gear (pic) and save the water and chemicals for more important uses.
