In my quest to eliminate the amount of waste I produce I have always been troubled by the toothbrush/toothpaste dilemma. I am not a person willing to forgo some clean teeth, well, at least not permanently. Should a person merely use the toothbrush longer than the three months recommended by the American Dentists Association in order to decrease the number of toothbrushes used over time? Well, I already do that (coupled with boiling water to kill germs) but it just doesn't seem like enough.
I like the sound and look of these toothbrushes. Unfortunately shipping them from Australia isn't exactly going to be helping my initial problem of waste.
So, I found and settled with this one. I don't actually need it yet so it will sit in my drawer for a while (sorry, no review). 2.99 isn't a bad price and finding it at target (less than a mile from my house) is a plus for convenience and transportation cost/impact. It's packaging doubles as a postage paid envelope to be sent back at the end of it's life for recycling. No landfill for this one!
