Bathroom Ideas to fight climate change & save the environment
(Numbers indicate order in which each idea was added to website.)
1 Use bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic bottles Read More And more
This is the very first idea put on this website and its a good one. It is also the first idea Judy and I put into practice in our renewed efforts to save the environment. We had dozens of liquid soap bottles around the house. As the links above describe, not only is the plastic a problem but the liquid is a problem. On top of it all, bar soap is fun. Soaps come in all colors, sizes, shapes and smells. If you look around you'll also find good soaps for your hair. Remember to use a slatted wood holder so soap doesn't get yucky sitting in the water. If you want to use fancy soap dishes instead place a non-plastic soap sponge in the tray. Enjoy!
