3 Reasons A Bamboo Toothbrush Is Better Than A Plastic One
Recently, bamboo toothbrushes have become all the rage. Not only are they already big in the sustainable living community, but have even gone mainstream. And there's good reason for bamboo toothbrushes being used more widely today than ever before. 1. It is incredibly sustainable Bamboo grows fast and the bamboo toothbrush is biodegradable. Rather than the immense processing required for plastic toothbrushes, this sustainable alternative comes directly from the bamboo plant. Since plastic toothbrushes are derived from fossil fuels, their production is directly increasing climate change. 2. Plastic toothbrushes are virtually indestructible Made largely from polypropylene plastic and nylon bristles, plastic toothbrushes literally never degrade. This means that the very first plastic toothbrush ever made is likely still floating around somewhere on Earth, polluting it. Over a billion plastic toothbrushes are thrown away each year in the United States alone. Wi
