Climate Hack: Toothpaste Tube Trouble

Have you ever stopped to think about the harm your toothpaste is doing to the planet? From the packaging to the harmful ingredients – none of it is good for Mother Earth. So what can we do? Stop buying toothpaste that comes in a plastic tube and look for the metal tube that can be recycled. Since a tube of toothpaste should last about three months, you’d keep four plastic containers out of the landfill each year. If everyone living in San Francisco did the same, we’d keep nearly 3.5 million plastic toothpaste tubes out of the dump.
