In an effort to reduce the waste your family makes, you’ve most likely already chosen to incorporate more zero-waste products in your life. From the reusable water bottles, thermal mugs, and bento boxes, to the rows of legume-filled mason jars in your pantry, you completely get the value of easing up on consumption, waving your green flag at any chance to reuse, and shrinking your carbon footprint. Plus, consuming less and embracing more zero-waste products into our daily lives just makes cents! (see what we did there?!) Make 2022 the year of the zero-waste bathroom! Give it a try: you’ve got zero to lose!
