#30: Toothbrushes Don’t Have to Be Plastic
Toothbrushes haven’t changed in a long time. Sure, some have tongue cleaners, some are soft, and some are firm, but that’s just preference over anything else. They all come with plastic handles and little rubber and plastic bristles on the brush. And there’s pretty much nothing else you can use to clean your teeth, so what are you going to do?
Thankfully, bamboo toothbrushes are becoming more popular and are now available in big chain stores. They use wooden handles and sustainable bristles that are firm and flexible enough to clean your teeth but can be disposed of without any guilt. Changing your toothbrush every few months is recommended, so this makes for a sustainable solution!
