I find the smell of dryer sheets offensive. If you all only knew what was in those dryer sheets and what health problems they can bring on you would not be using them. There are alternatives.

interesting points…
guess it boils down to “trade-offs”… energy is a big one we are arguing now. Do we drill in the gulf and risk environmental disaster? Do we make ourselves more dependent on foreign oil? Do we build wind turbines though they may block a pristine view?

on dryer sheets – the health thing & chemicals are a bit scary. guess we’ll still use them – just not as much…

Gnarly stuff. I haven’t used dryer sheets for years but when sharing an apartment building dryer you can’t help pick some of this gunk. I air dry what I can but there are limitations to my balcony space.

I love the phrase “you people”, like they have a disease because they have opinions- just maybe not YOUR opinion. I hear this used for anything different; religion, environmental issues, raising kids, etc. If we all do our part in our little piece of the world, it WOULD be a better place to live. Dryer sheets. Like them or don’t. There are bigger issues in the world but this page was about dryer sheets.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The dose makes the poison.

Using dryer sheets won’t impact your health. Not everything natural is healthy and not everything healthy is natural. Get over your irrational fear for of all things made in a lab and embrace the marvels of modern science.

And while I’m trolling (I found this post by accident) for those of you that think everything should be grown “sustainably,” by which you mean organically, which third of the world’s population would you choose to die? Or did you think that organic farming would produce the same output per acre as bio-engineered crops?

If you people were to ever succeed in banning the use of genetically modified crops, you would inadvertently cause the worst famine in human history.

When you think “green,” think Norman Borlaug (look him up) not Ralph Nadir.
