The Bite Plastic buildup - but you can avoid both by choosing a recycled or replaceable-head toothbrush instead of a conventional tooth-scrubber, and brush up on the best options to promote good dental and eco-hygiene. The Benefits Environmentally correct brushing. In the United States, 50 mil lb of toothbrushes end up in landfills each year. Saving pocket change. Replaceable-head versions can save you some cash, so you can afford a set of 24-carat grills. Pearly biters. Plaque is whack - these eco-brushes work as well as the ones from your dentist. Personally Speaking Jen's bro Peter is a dentist in Atlanta, and she admits to pilfering the stock of not-so-eco (but free) toothbrushes and floss at his office. Wanna Try? Preserve Toothbrush - made from recycled yogurt cups and comes with a postage-paid envelope for recycling; three bristle options. If you're picky about color, you can pick(y) one up at Whole Foods instead ($4). Radius Source Toothbrush - has a cool corn and wood fiber handle with replaceable heads ($8). Fuchs Ekotec Toothbrush - simple replaceable-head brush that includes three spare heads ($4). Join the Bite Club: give companies your 2¢ and get discounts or freebies.
