Making small changes in the bathroom equals huge improvements in your environmental footprint.  Eco-friendly products use materials that have a low impact on the environment.  You will use less energy while saving money.  The savings also adds value to your home.

Check out these eco-friendly bathroom products made in the USA.  Which changes will you make?

1. Use a shampoo bar and wooden soap dish.

via Amazon: Luxiny Shampoo Bar

via Brooklyn Made Natural: Wood Soap Dish

Shampoo bars reduce packaging and are the equivalent of 2-3 bottles of liquid shampoo.  The bars are made without harsh chemicals, and last longer than their liquid counterparts.  Because the bars are solid, they are travel-friendly and can go many places, such as trips, post-workout shower, and hiking backpacks.

A wood soap dish drains the water from the shampoo bar, helping it last longer.  These are made from untreated, raw wood, and do not contain any nails or glue.

2. Switch to a low-flow shower head.

via Amazon: High Sierra High Efficiency Low Flow Shower Head

A low flow shower head reduces the amount of water that gets wasted during a shower.  A high efficiency shower head is one that uses less than 2.0 gpm (gallons of water per minute).  

3. Attach a bidet to your toilet.

via Amazon: Butt Buddy Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment

Bidet's are beneficial to the environment.  They replace toilet paper.  Particles stay off your hands when using a bidet.  Soap and water keep things cleaner than wiping with toilet paper.

The Butt Buddy is a toilet seat attachment that works much in the same way as a bidet.  It acts as a water sprayer and leads to a more sanitary bathroom experience.

4. Use eco-friendly toilet paper.

via Amazon: Bumroll Ultra Soft Toilet Paper Rolls

If cleaning with a water sprayer is not your thing, make eco-friendly toilet paper the go-to option.  It is free of dyes, fragrances, paraben and lint.  Hydrogen peroxide is used to whiten the toilet paper.  Made from recycled materials, eco-friendly toilet paper uses less trees, which keeps the air clean.

 

5. Use toothbrushes made from recycled material.

via Amazon: Preserve Ocean Plastic Initiative Toothbrush

 This toothbrush is made from recycled ocean plastic and Preserve donates 25% of the proceeds of POPI products to non-profit organizations that work to clean up the oceans and beaches, and support marine conservation.  Not only is the purchase of this toothbrush saving the ocean, but it is the purchase that keeps on giving.

Conclusion
