You couldn’t have guessed that, your plastic toothbrush which you have been using since your childhood can be an environmental culprit. We have been told that dental hygiene and care is utmost important and brushing your teeth twice daily is essential.
Every year at least 8million tonnes of plastics leak into the ocean and this staggering figure is expected to increase to two per minute by 2030 and four per minute by 2050, at which stage there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans!
Brushing our teeth everyday is just something that we naturally do and is probably not something you really think of having an environmental impact, however the reality is so different.
So the next time you buy that plastic toothbrush for your family, consider the amount of health hazards you are exposing them to. Make a wise choice for a better future of your family and this planet. Choose sustainable alternatives like bamboo toothbrush and remember your action counts!
