Ready to ditch disposable razors? I use a Rockwell adjustable safety razor. It has a similar feel to a disposable razor so it was easy to make the switch. https://getrockwell.com/

So I don't have a link for this deal, but for my laundry and dish washing needs, I use https://sheetslaundryclub.com/. I live alone, so I don't actually have a subscription (that would be way too much product for me), but if you join, you can get 10% off your first purchase. I use the laundry sheets for my detergent and the dish soaps and coconut scrubbers for my dishes. Even with my hoofstock grossness, these sheets get my pants clean!

All my favorite plastic-free companies are offering some great plastic-free July deals! For my toothpaste, I use Bite toothpaste bits. They do a great job cleaning my teeth and are super convenient. They also sell bamboo toothbrushes, floss, mouthwash bits, whitening gel, and deodorant. I just got this code today to get 20% off the Daily Habits essentials. It's only good for this weekend, so make the switch today if you haven't already! https://bite.tiny.ps/38XSke use the code: BIGSMILE

REFLECTION QUESTION
Community Estimate My Plastic Consumption

What did you find out about your plastic consumption by using the calculator? What did or didn't surprise you?

Andrea Markiewicz 7/05/2022 3:01 PM

When I used the plastic consumption calculator, I learned that I use less plastic than I thought, which, yay! But I still have improvements to make, mostly in the kitchen. I knew this was my weakest link, but I didn't realize how much plastic was produced there.
