by now it is obvious that we attempt to waste nothing and reuse everything. one may ask themselves why on earth would we use the same toothbrush for 8 years, easy...we have the best toothbrushes on earth. 8 years ago we bought his and hers matching, blue and pink, Fuchs Ekotec toothbrushes. not only are the super enviro, with their replaceable heads, it is fun to tell people about your old toothbrush.
we joke around about where our toothbrushes have been...up and down the east coast, out west, and tons of camping and surf trips. bet you can't say that about yours!
Fuchs Ekotec toothbrushes are an eco option to replacing the whole shebang every few months. all we do is pop out the replaceable head and pop in a new one. the only thing that we are tossing AWAY is the worn out head.
we figure at this point, we have saved about 24 toothbrushes each if we followed the ole replace your toothbrush every 3 months suggestion. imagine what that is over a lifetime, well as long as you have teeth. the statistics say that americans toss 50 million pounds of toothbrushes in landfill every year.
being hygienic and enviro doesn't come with a high price tag from Fuchs. both toothbrush and replacement heads run about $5.00. we bought ours at our local health food store and you can find them from a slew of mainstream online sources.
start a trend, save a toothbrush and form a relationship with a new one. why not celebrate your toothbrush's birthday, it is saving space in our landfills.

This is great! I love my recycled toothbrush and I feel even better about sending it back when I am done! We don't appreciate our toothbrushes enough I agree!!
