The harm from dish soap is negligible compared to the oil and grease and grime that you wash away from the car (which is also negligible). If it is really that bad, then none of us should drive when it rains (and should go to a covered parking lot). The rain water washes the undersides of the car every well, which tend to have more oil, grease, grime and the rainwater flows from the pavement to stormdrain inlets (or earthen ditches) to the rivers.
And yes, I am environmentally conscious too.
