Climate Hack: The Thing About Floss

Most floss is made out of nylon and coated in wax. Under the best conditions, a single piece of floss you use to get that corn out of your teeth takes about 80 years to break down.

But there’s a zero-waste alternative you can use instead that will help prevent miles of that floss from ending up in the trash. Vianey Arana reports.
