It’s hard to imagine that something like a toothbrush can have a big impact on the environment but it’s true. More than 50 million pounds of these brightly colored teeth-cleaners are tossed into landfills each year. If we actually listened to our dentists the number would be even higher. Luckily we’ve found some great green brushes that will make you smile.
Is it possible to make a toothbrush that does the job without contributing to landfill waste?
Another eco-friendly toothbrush on the market is the Radius Intelligent Toothbrush. The brush beeps when the user has brushed for two minutes; this is the recommended brushing time, as determined by dentists. An indicator light turns red after 90 days to inform the user that it's time to change the toothbrush head. A replaceable head reduces the waste of buying a whole new toothbrush every 90 days. Consumers can purchase a 3-pack of replaceable toothbrush heads for US$ 6.95. -Business Week
