  • Reflection Question
    Personal Care Purchase Alternative Toothpaste
    Currently, most of the packaging for toothpaste is plastic. What has been your experience using plastic-free toothpaste options? How can you advocate for more alternatives through your purchasing power and influence in community?

    Switching to a tablet option took some adjustment but I'm happy to have found a plastic-free option that works.

    It was more difficult than I had expected to find a plastic-free toothpaste that didn't contain clay with a lead warning, but the tablet and metal-tube options don't appear to have this problem.
