The bathroom is probably the most challenging part of the house to #gogreen. We give you 20 ideas to make your bathroom more sustainable. Remember: do whatever you can and after a while, it will become a habit. 

Yes, it is challenging to change products, habits, and equipment in the bathroom. There’s always an impact on our routine, on our pockets (mostly money-saving!) and surely on the planet. 

Probably you have already adopted some of these ideas. So just be open to following others and taking bathroom sustainability to the next level. We strongly believe in the power of a lot of people acting correctly through small steps leading to big changes.

Bear in mind that we are not promoting discarding every product or equipment that you already own. We mostly advocate that youconsider replacing some habits and products in the short run and in the long run you’ll integrate more sustainable practices.

What sustainable bathroom products can you change?
