Zero Waste Supply

You are paying to ship water.

A bottle of shower gel is mostly liquid and plastic. A soap bar is just the wash.
What actually changes when you swap one for the other, plastic, skin, and the bit that sits on the side of the bath:

Most supermarket soap has the good bit taken out.

Cold-process bars keep the glycerin that forms when the soap is made. That is why they clean without that tight, squeaky feel.

Short, plain explainer on what the method actually is — and which bars in the shop are made that way:

He really pi**ed off the Gods

I had a few friends around for food and drink and chat last night. It was fun. Today the dishwasher took one look at the cleaning job on hand and immediately broke down. Bank holiday weekend, yay!!

So, I did the washing up the old fashioned way. Replaced the yucky yellow sponge scrubbers with some of our new Compostable Dish Sponges.

First, take a look at the yellow sponge. All those bits of green plastic went down the plughole and either end up spread on fields, in rivers, or even back in your tap water. They last, essentially, for ever. The remains will end up in landfill. There are billions of these used every year.

The compostable one is sturdy. Maybe a little too stiff for cutlery, glasses, etc. but great for pots, pans, frying pans, crockery and other large items. Great for shifting stubborn marks. Made of cellulose and loofah. Both plant based materials. Once done with they go into the compost ready to feed the garden.

After spending a day in the roof doing some semi-urgent repairs I was a bit grubby, sweaty, and generally unpleasant. But that changed.

I tried Paper Plane's Emergency Dad's Soap. A natural soap with some charcoal, castor, coconut and olive oil and scented with lavender and geranium oils.

Worked a treat. I am feeling more human now. Ready for a glug of refreshing liquids.

Not just for Dads so take a look for yourself, link in the comments.
