This step is one that I don't expect anyone to 'complete' anytime soon, because it's just too difficult. All that I am asking for the moment is that you go have a look in your bathroom, and wherever else you might store toiletries, and take a look at how many plastic containers you have. The first step is awareness.

I have added this extra point as it is a little less universal, but for people who have periods it is a good idea to consider the waste that these products create. I have also added this as a bonus point because I don't think it is as essential to completely change this - it is a case of personal preference and completely down to the individual to choose what is right for them.

Toothpaste is another essential in the bathroom. If you have changed from a plastic toothbrush to a bamboo one, why not consider switching out your toothpaste too? Toothpaste tubes cannot be recycled and therefore create just as much waste as toothbrushes.

Plastic disposable razors are expensive and incredibly wasteful. I think most people wouldn't need telling twice if they found an option that was MUCH cheaper, equally/more effective and created less waste.

Make up removing wipes are an absolute no-no when trying to reduce waste. Although they often seem to be made of material that will decompose, more often than not they contain plastics to maintain their structure.

For some reason, and only in recent years, there has been a massive shift from using bar soap as hand wash to liquid soap in plastic containers with a pump. These are not necessarily any more efficient or useful, and if anything tend to need more frequent replacing.

Plastic toothbrushes are evil. We use them for 3-4 months (longer if you're as disorganised as me), chuck them in the bin and replace them with another. These toothbrushes will last longer on this planet than we will, and our children, and our grandchildren. In fact, most toothbrushes will take up to 1,000 years to degrade.
