Since fabric softener uses petro in it basiclly oil... would the price of oil go down if everyone stopped usin

Question

using fabric softener? I dont use it and my laundry not only smeels clean but I dont have any static cling. Also all that petro is not going into my skin over the years and going into my organs.

Answer 1

The price wouldn't go down, the government would find an excuse to keep the price high. Seventh Generation sells petrochemical free softeners and laundry soaps.  These are vegetable based eco-friendly products.I use their product and they work great.

Answer 2

No, the price wouldn't be affected by everybody not using fabric softener. There are literally thousand of products that are made from petroleum. There are high-cost medical devices that cost thousands of dollars that are made from petro. Fabric softener is relatively cheap compared to these. It would be nice if we could find a way to reduce the price of oil, though, and quickly!
