Dear Al Gore
Dear Al Gore,
What do I do with my toothbrush? Seriously, I go through about a toothbrush every month or two and it vexes me to no end when I have to pitch it in the trash afterwards. Now, I know I could find other uses for it once it has fulfilled the Cleaning My Mouth phase of its life. In fact, just last night I scrubbed the shower with (among other things) an old toothbrush and baking soda. (Remind me to talk to you about baking soda soon, too!) But realistically, regardless of how many other jobs I can think of for that heroic toothbrush, it's still going to find its way into a landfill once I'm all out of ideas. Isn't there a better way? Can you imagine how many landfills are dotted with these tiny plastic soldiers, watching vigilantly as other trash decomposes (or, more likely, not)? If you have any suggestions for a more eco-friendly toothbrush, I'd love to hear them. Thanks, Al!
Sincerely, Emily
