The straw thing seems like such an inconsequential place to start over things like switching to bar soap and bar shampoo to avoid using so many plastic bottles.
bar shampoo gets a no from me, I have a HORRIBLE amount of hair/skin oil (genetic) and if I don't wash my hair for even 1 day it looks like an absolute mess.
good news is that when I'm older I'll have absolutely glorious hair though lol
I use bar shampoo and body wash. Daily, because i sweat a lot (genetics too).
I use bar stuff because i have to shower daily. It prevents so much waste, because i work through soap fast, so at least i am not producing plastic waste.
If you have to wash your hair a lot, thats an argument for bar shampoo, not against.
My hair is also excessively oily, and I wash it daily with bar shampoo.
Get back to me when bar shampoo has medicated variants and doesn't fucking suck.
Yeah, not everyone can do it, but I have no reason to doubt that most can, but we're really getting hung up on a single example here, people.
How about deodorant? How many people use deodorant in a cardboard container instead of plastic?
