Dear Readers,
The bathroom is full of products designed to disappear quickly. It’s also one of the easiest places to make changes that will stick. Just swap in easy substitutions for items you already use. There’s no complicated learning curve: just smarter products and fewer things headed for the trash. And one tiny addition — a small recycling bin under the sink — may be the simplest shift of all.
Use code SIGNUP10 for 10% off your first order. Every purchase supports environmental nonprofits through Bluedot’s 1% for the Planet commitment, with many featured brands contributing additional impact. We also plant a tree with every order.
Happy shopping,
– Elizabeth Weinstein, Marketplace Editor

Efficient Oral Care
|
|
From floss and toothbrushes to toothpaste and mouthwash, oral care products generate a lot of plastic waste. It’s easy to swap in replacements to minimize that. Bamboo toothbrushes and plastic-free floss are a good place to start. Level up by trying toothpaste or mouthwash tablets, which do the job without bulky bottles and tubes. Tablets also skip the added water, making them easier to store, ship, and travel with — plus, you’ll save 15% on tablets when you subscribe and save. (Don’t worry, you can cancel or adjust your subscription if you’re not in love.) |

Reusable Rounds
|
|
Instead of using a new piece of cotton every time you apply toner or remove makeup, try a reusable instead. We love Zero Waste Outlet’s soft bamboo and cotton rounds, which come with an elegant holder, while the ones from Zero Waste Store come in assorted colors to match your decor. |

All-Natural Ear Swabs
|
|
Few things feel more satisfying than cleaning your ears, but all those ear buds add up. Try plastic-free swabs like these, which you can toss straight into the compost instead of the trash. |

Longer Lasting Hair Tools
|
|
Plastic hairbrushes and combs wear out quickly and often crack or snap under daily use. We recommend using durable materials that feel good in the hand and are good for the hair, like these bamboo and natural rubber paddle brushes and wooden combs. |

Low-Waste Loofah
|
|
Plastic bath poofs don’t last long and shed microplastics as they break down. A natural fiber soap saver bag creates plenty of suds, offers gentle exfoliation, and helps soap dry between uses, extending the life of the soap. |

What if the most powerful climate solution is connection across generations? This week on Imagine If, we bring together Bluedot founder Victoria Riskin and college student Cleo Carney for a conversation about how people of all ages are showing up for climate action in everyday ways. From composting with high-tech kitchen tools to choosing plant-based meals and organizing neighbors to speak up locally, they share how small, intentional choices add up. Their story is a reminder that you don’t need to be an expert or an activist to make a difference — you just need to start where you are, listen to one another, and act together for the future we all share.
