We’ve been looking for smarter choices when we wash up…
Those little handy green scourers (often attached to a sponge) are made from matted plastic. Every time we use it it slowly breaks down washing tiny plastic strands into our waterways that can’t be filtered out. We’re now using a loofah – yep the same kind you’d use in the bath. It’s an entirely natural dried fruit from a marrow-like plant, so once it’s worn out it can be composted. You can find them in any highstreet chemist or beauty aisle.
Now that’s a truly ‘green’ scourer!
