Someone flagged this submission as not complete. BBV price: 1 Note: Unfortunately, the soap is not "readily biodegradable" so it's not safe for the environment
In this Badge Bit you will use water from a dishpan to flush a toilet or water something.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- use water from a dishpan
- to flush a toilet, or to water something outside
- at least three gallons
- verify high quality biodegradable dish soap (the soap usually says "greywater safe" or "readily biodegradable")
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must:
- a picture of the dishpan with water
- a picture of the at least 3 gallons of water being used to flush a toilet or water something
- a picture and link to the verifiable biodegradeable dish soap
- OR a 2-minute video of you doing the above and a link to the verifiable biodegradeable dish soap
Second try at this BB.
After failing the last attempt with seventh generation soap, I dug into the ingredients and found out there are two that are problematic. It’s definitely not readily biodegradable even though they claim it’s graywater safe.
Looking into other soaps I use, Dr. Bronner‘s checks out to be the best. It is plant based. 100% biodegradable. And it’s the second most posted brand (after oasis) for this BB. (I counted every brand on every post). It took me three washings to get over 3 gallons of grey water.
Here is a plant friendly list that the soap is on.
I saved up my dishwater in a tub in the sink, and was able to fill up a gallon jug twice with that.
The third gallon was from 2quarts of dishwater I saved from the Wash Dishes by Hand BB, and an additional 1/2 gallon of dishwater from washing some spare dishes today.
I gave it all to some landscaping plants outside my apartment.
I used Castile Soap.
