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.
To be in the running for one of these, leave a comment saying hello by Sunday 15 July when I will randomly select a winner. One winner will receive 2 brushes.
Here are also two more bloggers taking part in PFJ
Take care
I am taking part in PFJ for 1 week, but we're having it at the end of july and trying to work up to it :)
ReplyDeleteAlso hello:)
Hello, I've never seen these. That is an awful lot of stupid plastic.
ReplyDeleteHi Bruise Mouse, Did not know that about plastic toothbrushes. Where can you buy these type?

What a great idea. I did't even think about all that plastic not breaqking down every time we throw out a toothbrush.
ReplyDeleteEnvironmental toothbrushes, I like the sound of these.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd never quite thought about all those toothbrushes like that before. What a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteCount me in. I absolutely hate plastic toothbrushes! In fact I was only saying to Kim last night how hard it would be to live without plastic waste, and that we should try it some time. I will have to work hard on convincing her about that one! x
ReplyDeleteIf I don't win these I will buy some! Have been trying really hard with plastic-free, but as I found last year, it is very difficult! Makes me think about changes that we should be making though, we could do more, just need to get organised!
ReplyDeleteHello! I was recently talking about these with my daughter. We were wondering where to get some from so thanks for this. To win and be able to try them would be great.
ReplyDeleteBarb.
Well 'hi'! :) Hello and yep, I'm keen to try as well. Off to window shop and see what's what.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for these - I am also taking part in PFJ - what a challenge and an eye-opener!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are cool, would be good for my kids, they are right into recycling etc at the moment!
