Good Things Come in Less Packaging

While I've been running around researching the most earth-friendly teethers for my daughter, and feeling sick that our rental has such inefficient appliances, I've been overlooking a very simple footprint minimizing action.














A small amount of paper or plastic wrapping, versus a hard plastic bottle or pump? Even if we're refilling liquid soap containers, the bar soap requires so much less packaging. I bought a beautiful lemon verbena bar the other day. It looks gorgeous on the sink, and there's something comforting about the feel of a slippery soapy bar between my hands.

I challenge us all to avoid liquid hand & body soaps as a small way of decreasing our impact just a little more.
