Not saying this about you or your mom, but what you said about her reaction reminded me of it. It always amazes me how strongly people react when they're told about a way to do something that is cheaper and greener. In RL I've had people go totally defencive on me, nearly to the point of freaking. Or they're convinced they'll smell like a pickle, and the fact that I DON'T smell like a pickle, and my hair is nice and fluffy and dandruff free, doesn't convince them that they won't smell like a pickle or have yucky hair. One guy even almost accused me of trying to make his hair fall out. It's not like I'm encouraging mayo as shampoo and beer as conditioner (which one lady I know uses!). XD
