Hand Soap Dispensers

Once you have a working soap dispenser everywhere you want to use your hand soap, it's cheaper and environmentally friendlier to buy the bigger packages of refill soap. You might be thinking - what difference does it make to have a few less dispensers in our landfills...

It's the same thing as with Earth Our - that idea, originated in Sydney - Australia, to turn all the lights off for an hour. When millions of people all around the globe join the idea, the difference all together make, is tremendous.

There are companies out there that pack their all-natural products into recyclable packaging. You can choose to support that kind of manufacturers. But no matter what brand of personal care products you purchase for yourself, make sure they are free of these toxic ingredients .
