A good clean - 2009 Green Awards winner

When you put something out there, people are bound to respond. How one respond does however differ. Positive feedback is generally the norm but then you also get people making contributions from a shared interest.

Our communication tends to circulate amongst our already developed circles but when we branch out what we get is access to another world.

Last month I was forwarded not just once but twice the link to Environmental Toothbrush. Maybe this was a hint I needed to brush my teeth more often?? But since I have yet to meet @ody_who, I figured this couldn't be the case. Unless, @m_zero_ had mentioned something to her, he being the other culprit. Probably not, well better not! You see @m_zer_o is a dude that thinks big, actually make it HUGE. He did what I'm kind of doing with this blog. Live the "green" life but he took it to another level by setting himself the challenge of living a year carbon neutral (check it here). Pretty CRAZY. Good crazy tho not the other crazy... So not surprising he would come across stuff like the environmental toothbrush.

Why the Environmental Toothbrush is so great:

In Australia, over 30 million toothbrushes are used and disposed of by Australians each year, amounting to approximately 1000 tonnes of landfill each year. The plastic they’re made of won’t break down in our lifetime. Nor within the lifetime of our children. Imagine that on a global scale.

The Environmental Toothbrush is a simple solution. Made from bamboo, a natural cellulose fibre, they are 100% biodegradable, environmentally sustainable, and do not pollute the environment. The amazing growth and self-renewing ability of bamboo means that deforestation is not necessary either. Even our packaging is bio-degradable.

Plus it's developed by an actual dentist!
