#46: Switch Your Floss

Every time you visit the dentist, you know that he will talk to you about flossing. Dentists push it so hard because it’s one of the best things you can do for your teeth. Brushing is an excellent start to maintaining healthy teeth, but flossing is a deep clean that removes the toughest-to-reach food particles.

However, most floss you buy at the store is plastic and it’s sold in plastic containers. So, instead of contributing to the business of plastic products, try out some bamboo floss instead. Any time you can switch out plastic for bamboo is excellent because bamboo is incredibly sustainable and doesn’t harm the earth.
