These lads haven’t paid me nothin, but I’ve been looking at ways to make my existence kinder to the environment… Toothpaste in glass jars lads. EVERY. SINGLE. TUBE of toothpaste ends up in landfill. And there’s no need. This product is from up the road from me, so no mad shipping. Full of natural ingredients (good for Rab’s soul and gums). Comes with a little oar to pop it on your brush. Have a go lads, let’s take it easy on ol’Mother Earth. If you’ve any other simple ways to instigate a positive environmental change, ping your suggestions in the comments ???? @georganics @theearthlocker #treehumping
