@@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist cool, I’m definitely trying to consider doing zero waste food in the RV. Right now, we have a compost pickup service at our house so I just take a compost bin from there to compost in the RV on road trips but that won’t work if we go full time, although we are considering investing in a Lomi if we do that. If I think of any more specific questions, I can let you know!

The reusable floss pic with compostable floss is tempting me a lot. I currently use bamboo interdental brushes which are still a bit wasteful so I think I'm going to make the switch. My favourite bathroom swap was toothpaste tabs which I found out about on your channel. For a bit of follow-up on Simple Living Eco's genuinely plastic-free laundry strips, I've now used them and they cleaned well, left no residue and have a very gentle but nice scent. The whole greenwashing PVA laundry strips saga has left me very distrustful, but it seems that these are the genuine article and work well.

I love to use a water flosser.then if something is so stuck I use those wooden toothpicks..it's reusable and saves me I like the challenge of seeing how much I can go without buying. It's not perfect but it works
@respondstonancy Жыл бұрын
I use and absolutely love my leaf razor, my reusable menstrual underwear/pads and cup, the quip floss is a staple in my car, reusable makeup pads and a diy unscented castile soap/jojoba oil/water makeup remover and body soap. I still use conventional toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, and conditioner and lotion and toilet paper...looking forward to slowly making the switch once my budget allows

I'm the same way about hair ties! I pick them up and throw them in a mesh laundry bag in the laundry, then it's clean and good to use!For product reviews, I see a lot of items from a brand called 9 Elements: dish soap, laundry soap, bathroom cleaner, etc. They claim to be all natural, but I can't tell if they are greenwashing.

I don't wear make up, I don't shave and I'm post menopausal so that cuts out a lot of things. I use an electric toothbrush (recommended by my dentist) and Dentabs. I buy recyclable toothbrush heads and do recycle them. I use a refillable deodorant, shampoo bars, soap bars and I get my shower gel refilled at my local zero waste shop. I use bamboo toilet paper. I bought recycled toilet paper for years but I find bamboo is stronger. I am finding it hard to buy the supplements I take in reusable/recyclable packaging. Very frustrating. I can recycle the blister packs from my prescribed medications though.
@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist Жыл бұрын
Woah does the company take the recyclable toothbrush heads back? Or does your municipality accept them? Where do you recycle blister packs?
@anniehosking2408 Жыл бұрын
@@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist I'm in the UK. The company takes the toothbrush heads back. There is a return envelope included in the pack of 4 brush heads. The chain store Superdrug runs the blister pack recycling scheme (took over from Terracycle). They have collection bins in any of their shops that has a pharmacy. There is one in my nearest town.

What are you thoughts on recycling that isn't actually happening? Large freighters are taking it to 3rd world countries and they're essentially burning it or dumping it into the ocean rather than actually recycling it. We're essentially just passing off the responsibility to poor people and severely polluting their water and ground and air. It's become a huge problem. I think about that when buying plastic wondering if, in fact, it actually WILL get recycled or if it will just end up in a landfill or polluting the environment in some far off place where people are suffering and getting sick from it. It really makes my head hurt knowing all the many ways we get duped every day into thinking we're doing the right thing only to later find out, nope, maybe not any better than the regular stuff we used to do. What's the answer to the problem though? Thoughts?
