Default Going Green

Is anybody aware of environmentally friendly car washes or APCs.

These are the two products that generally 'run-off' and end up in the sewer or catch-basin after I detail my car.

I would like to be a little more environmentally conscious so if anybody has any insight, it would be appreciated.

1Z products are environmentally friendly.

Eco-Touch is also, but very limited line:

Sorry to hi-jack. What is the downside of using an eco-friendly wash? Aren't you rubbing dirt around in your paint by not washing the dirt off of the car? (Using a microfiber which then collects the dirt).
Would it require the use of a lot of microfibers to clean an entire car?

Supposedly ONR emulsifies the dirt or does something so that it doesnt mess up the paint. I use a grout sponge from Lowes with ONR and it works perfectly fine. No swirling or scratches. ONR is a great product. Tons of people use it without any downsides.
