We're starting a series of eco-friendly tips, because we realize that going green is as easy as making minor changes to your daily routine, and because we love innovative ideas that will also reduce waste and un-clutter the earth.
Tip: Use ALL of your toothpaste/shampoo/conditioner/liquid soap
Literally, squeeze for all it's worth. Leaving that behind leftover toothpaste (or shampoo, or conditioner, soap, etc.) is actually a lot more than just a bit. I'm sure you know this if you've shared my frustration in trying to get the last of the shampoo out--there's still so much in there, why won't it come out!
Since squeezing, in this case, won't do the trick, water will. So will storing the bottle upside down.
Why is it such a big deal?
Because the amount of plastic in our landfills is a big deal. 10% of the nation's toothpaste goes unused, can you imagine how much less plastic we can use by using all of our toothpaste?? Or shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. You get the idea.
After all, going green more about changing the small things in life, than simply thinking big and doing nothing at all.
