REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal Care Brusha Brusha BrushaWhat are the benefits of switching to bamboo toothbrushes? How would you implore others in your community to make this switch as well?
Jenny Bell 7/31/2019 5:00 PMI think that bamboo toothbrushes are great. I do not currently compost, so I am worried about how to properly dispose of it once I need a replacement brush. But it definitely uses less plastic and is an easy switch! -

Jenny Bell 7/18/2019 1:37 PMToday I was doing laundry and noticed I’m almost out of detergent in the giant plastic container. After researching more green options (and realizing I’m not up to making my own from scratch!), I purchased some Dizolve laundry detergent strips. One tiny strip, the size of a movie ticket, cleans a load of laundry and reduces plastic waste and 94% of transportation pollution. We’ll see how it goes!
