    What are the benefits of switching to bamboo toothbrushes? How would you implore others in your community to make this switch as well?

    I switched to bamboo toothbrushes 6 months ago and I don't think there is any difference between using bamboo vs plastic in the quality of the toothbrush.  It feels good knowing that I won't be throwing away plastic every 3 months that I replace my toothbrush.
