    Hey man, I am so happy to see another person doing some of the stuff I do. I am not buying any plastic bottles anymore... soap for a shower is much better and it holds a long time. Good post! Followed!

    An excellent set of things to help the planet.

    I must try the razor in alcohol idea. What sort of alcohol do you use?

    I use the same alcohol that is sold at the pharmacist shop called isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol.

    Its much cheaper than the drinking stuff, doesn't contain sugars and can be used for a lot of other things.

    The little jar I use has a lid so it doesn't evaporate, but I change it when it starts looking off.

      I use washable “toilet paper.” Much cheaper than a bidet. I have a little bin to put the dirties in and it’s just for me. It sounds weird to some people but it’s really not that difficult. I use primarily for light work, so to speak. For the rest I buy bamboo toilet paper (tree free and septic safe).

      I am once again trying bar shampoo. I like the idea but with waist length hair it is sometimes laborious. I also dye my hair purple so I’m always hunting for shampoo that’s easier on the color.

      I want to get a safety razor. That’s supposed to be the happy medium between the disposable bead razors and a straight razor. But I have a couple months of razor refills left so I may as well use them.

      I have some DIY cleaner recipes I intend to try as soon as I finish the cleaners I already have. I’ll share my thoughts and the recipes as I get to using them. I am left a little under whelmed by some of the natural or eco friendly cleaners. I know Mrs Meyers is a popular one but I have yet to find it effective in my home. Still uses plastic bottles too so I’m trying to find ways to reduce those.

      I also have DIY body butter, lotion, deodorant creams, toothpaste etc. have you heard of Natural Vegan Club? They’re the products I’m trying next. They also have designed a compostable bottle that is on Kickstarter that I love the idea. I’m also experimenting with hand made, vegan, sustainable cosmetics.

      I’m enjoying reading your ideas. Thanks for sharing!

      Those are some good ideas to think about. I may also consider a safety razor, however I also have quite a few refils left and because of the alcohol they last like 3 to 4 months each.

        We do a few of those. Turning off the shower when soaping up seems obvious and we are using some shampoo bars now. We used to have a shower bucket, but haven't in a while. Maybe ought to bring that back. For toilet paper I try to use the minimum necessary.

                  One up your game by using a dry toilet. Use sawdust and scoop the poop out to use as compost.

                    That will be an option when I live in a rural area, but in an apartment or cities in general it's not practical.
