    What are the benefits of switching to bamboo toothbrushes? How would you implore others in your community to make this switch as well?

    The less plastic that ends up in the trash the better.  Can't recycle a toothbrush but you can reuse it.  My old tooth brushes become tools for other jobs such as cleaning small hard to reach areas or even pain brushes.

    Does changing the lining of your waste bin change the kind or amount of trash you produce?

    All my messy stuff comes from food waste which 90% goes to compost anyway. So no, the lining is just a waste.

    Do some research on the toxic side affects of aluminum deodorant. After reading the side effects, can you think of instances where you may have experienced the side effects from this form of deodorant?

    No. I've never used deodorant with aluminum.
