It is time to give back to earth this Christmas

The change begins with you. Here are some easy ways to introduce friends, family and even colleagues to bio-degradable products.

Now more than ever Mother Earth needs our support.

Many Christmas gifts eventually get thrown away, but where is ‘away’?

Something as simple as a toothbrush is made of plastic and either ends up in a landfill site somewhere or in the ocean.

They do not biodegrade and add to the ever increasing plastic pollution epidemic. How can you help to make a change?

Most people are not aware of the fact that there are alternatives.

There are now bamboo toothbrushes in funky colours for kids.

Buy a bio-friendly, bio-degradable gift for Christmas. This way the person is aware of it and can even try it out.

These brushes not only look beautiful, but will brighten up your smile, and help save the environment.

Each time you use a bamboo toothbrush you are helping to reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.

The handles are 100% biodegradable and when your brush is ready to be replaced, it can be added to your garden or compost.

Nowadays there are bamboo straws, cups, plates and even cutting boards.

Remember, the change begins with you.
