A little change goes a long way

Toothbrushes made out of bamboo, enhanced with charcoal

At home, we've switched from using plastic toothbrushes to using those made with bamboo. My family members and I use at least 24 toothbrushes per person every year -- this small change cuts down a considerable amount of non-biodegradable waste. 

You can buy these online at Neishaus. The Singapore-based site also sells Bowl Overs (reusable bowl covers) and reusable beeswax wraps -- both can be used as replacement for plastic wrap.
