REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal CareWhat are the economic and personal benefits of switching to bar soap/shampoo/conditioner or refillable bottle options?
Carissa Lanstra 7/02/2019 9:13 AMWhen using a bottle of soap it takes up space when traveling, also they can leak into your other eco-friendly products. Using a bar of soap now a day isn't hard to find in stores. I find that I feel like I waste less soap when using a bar than when using a bottle. Using a bar of soap instead of a plastic bottle filled with soap is good for the environment by slowly adding less and less plastic into landfills.
