REFLECTION QUESTION
Lifestyle Travel Toiletries

What is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?

Bar soaps have far less plastic waste. By refilling the containers I have already, I am also keeping those plastic containers out of the landfill.
