DITCH: Plastic Toothbrushes SWITCH: Bamboo Toothbrush
Probably one of the simplest and easiest sustainable switches that you can make is to a bamboo toothbrush. The issue with plastic toothbrushes is that they don’t go anywhere, it takes at least 300-400 years for a plastic toothbrush to break down. Which pretty much means that every single plastic toothbrush that you, me, your brother’s girlfriend or your cousins, friends sister-in-law has ever used still exists somewhere on this planet and is going to stay around for a whole lot longer.
The solution: make the switch to a bamboo toothbrush, once you’re done you can chuck the handle in your garden and you’re good to go!
