    Thank you for this helpful video. I will go and look for wooden toothbrushes! I have not seen any about in London but maybe I was not looking properly. When i finish with one toothbrush i usually put it to the side and use it to clean the drains, the top of the pipes under the basin/sink plugs that get really grimy. It is really good for cleaning the underside of the sink plug too and the grouting in the showers and bathrooms. I have also stopped using very chemical products in the bathroom. Last month i decided to start buying a washing up liquid and now I am using that to clean the bathroom units. It feels less harmful than using the cleaning products made specifically for the bathroom which probably contain more bleaches and harmful chemicals. It works really well. I use washing up liquid, the Ecover one to clean EVERYTHING in my home, floors, plates, bathrooms except toilets! I have also found a plant-based castille soap that can be used in this way for dishes, floors, surfaces. Dr Jacobs Naturals plant-based pure castille all-in-1 soap!

    Thank you very much! I wished there were more people talking about plastic alternatives or how to reduce the use of plastic at least!

    You can get bar shampoo at bulk barn. The bars last a really long time. Badger also sells bar shampoo. I Wish we could get more companies to switchover to bar shampoos.

    I bet it’s not as good as Super Deodorant… it’s awesome and works really well.

    5:51 I work in construction. I despise it. Every single time i see a sheet of it i get reminded that the garden around the house will never be 'clean'. Sure it may grow plants but it hurts my soul

    Best deodorant that I’ve been using for several years now is sodium bicarbonate powder. Costs nothing, very effective and harmless.

    Maybe you should talk about fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.

    9:51 That millenial feeling of rejecting your own half a second happiness because if you dont save the planet, noone will. Us being the first generation that has to deal with the consequences of our species' actions (or a lack of it) on a global scale complicates things a lot. Then again, the first step is always the hardest, and i'd rather do it sooner and start fixing the world now than later. IMO, a country is a cart, and the people in power are the horses. The horses want to go in all directions and mess everything up, and its our job as the carriage driver to reign them in, and make them behave, do what we want, and go in the direction we want. The generations for the last 50 years have let go of the reigns completely and as expected, the horses ran wild. All the more reason to hate the boomers. Their inactions, entitlement, greed, selfishness and just generally not giving a damn led to this state of the world.
