I've been avoiding getting a dishwasher for a variety of
reasons.  Among them is that all the dishwasher soaps 
I've seen contain phosphates.  I know that using a
dishwasher uses less water and energy than washing dishes
by hand; does anyone know if there are any dishwasher
soaps that don't contain phosphates or other harmful
chemicals?  Are there organizations that rate the
energy efficiency of dishwashers, the way that is done
with, say, refrigerators?

Thanks for your help!
