In recent years, we have become a lot more ecologically aware, with most of us making small changes to lessen our carbon footprint.
We are all aware of how single-use plastics are a huge contributor to the overfill of landfills. Which is why we are all trying to do what we can to change this for future generations.
Reusable straws and cups are a great place to start but have you ever thought about changing your hairbrush and toothbrush to an eco-friendlier option?
Seems a little challenging but it is so easy.
Bamboo toothbrush
The main material used in plastic toothbrushes is petroleum, which requires a lot of energy to make. Plastic toothbrushes are also non-biodegradable as the take a millennium to degrade.
Bamboo toothbrushes are designed specifically with eco-friendliness in mind. Their handles are made from 100% bamboo and are fully biodegradable.
Bamboo plants are quick and easy to grow and they don’t need fertilizer or pesticides to grow, making a bamboo toothbrush completely organic too.
