TIP for Tuesday April 28th, 2009

Recently I’ve switched back to the basics…bars of soap in the bathroom
over plastic containers of liquid soap. It’s a better option for the
environment and it turns out to be cheaper! In terms of weight 31% of
the waste sent to landfills is made up of packaging. Bar soap is
available with little or no packaging, and there are more all-natural
options. Studies have also found that bar soap kills off bacteria just
as well as liquid. If you have a liquid soap dispenser you can save
all your soap bar scraps, warm them up in a little water, let them
soak and soften and then put in the liquid soap dispensers.
