Grey water can be used effectively in well planned systems, but simply
dumping it on the ground may cause real problems.  As with anything, a
little goes a LONG way.  Excessive nutrient problems (nitrogen,
phosphorous, etc) may not be apparent to most folks, and the small
additions each individual may contribute may not seem like much, but
eventually, they become really serious.  Additionally, food wastes
create nuisance problems (and mixed with soaps can create wildlife
illnesses) while "other" wastes create additional concerns.
