I'm doing my bit for the planet. Small steps but, no more single use plastic- so goodbye clingfilm and hello to some rather nifty food covers, that look like little shower caps, that were only £2 for about 7 of various sizes in Waitrose. Still plastic, but reusable. Also, trying not to buy pre packaged fruit and veg and no putting it in plastic bags at the supermarket-this is quite easy. And I've bought bars of soap, rather than plastic bottles of shower gel, which everyone seems quite happy with. I'm considering buying an Eco Egg for the washing machine, rather than detergent but I've read very mixed reviews and I'm still a bit too fussy about nice-smelling washing and so that might be a step too far in my early stages. I will vow to buy washing powder in a cardboard box though, and not liquid. Last one today was, to tear up lots of old tea towels, to use as reusable cleaning cloths. Hopefully will think of lots more in time.
On to the question of shampoo bars. Again, I've read very mixed reviews and the general consensus seems to be, they're not great. Has anyone discovered a good one? My hair is quite fine and prone to dry ends but DD has voluminous hair! I want to be able to make this change and rid our bathroom of multiple shampoo/conditioner bottles. I'm quite excited about all these changes and it's becoming a bit of an obsession
