The global plastic pollution crisis has led us to learn more about common daily-use products that we didn't pay attention to.
Your plastic toothbrush, for example, discarded after 3 months of use, takes about 400 years to disintegrate. In the U.S alone, 1 billion toothbrushes are discarded annually, making these products very common during beach clean-ups.
Besides littering the environment, wildlife is harmed, and sea birds are confusing toothbrushes for food.
Glady, there's an alternative. Bamboo toothbrushes.
Was a toothbrush always made of plastic? Is a bamboo toothbrush a new invention?
This infographic sheds some light.
Switch from a plastic toothbrush today and use a bamboo toothbrush. It is good for you and the planet!
