Morning
I realised that just going about my usual morning ablutions, I have used 10 preparations.
Hygiene is a huge industry. My equivalent 200 years ago would not have used all those items. Socially I need them all but environmentally, what is the impact of me consuming in this way at least every other day?
- shampoo
- conditioner
- shower gel
- toothpaste
- mouthwash
- saline solution
- contact lens solution
- deodorant
- moisturiser
- soap
