The ultimate in frugality and earth awareness. (If you are British, never mind reading this suggestion). I finished a tube of Toothpaste. Out of curiosity, I wondered how much toothpaste actually remained inside, following the squeeze-the-tube-down-completely techique. (Firm, thumb push-down repetitively to the cap end). I took some scissors, and cut off the side of the tube and opened it up. Wubzy! Much to my surprise, there was really quite a lot of toothpaste still inside! I actually had enough to brush three more days on what remained. Factoid-(You have to close the tube back down each time so the toothpaste doesn’t dry out between brushings). Imagine if everyone did the same thing, how much less aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, calcium hydrogen phosphates, silicas, zeolites, hydroxyapatite, mica, sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, olaflur, and sodium monofluorophosphate with MFP Protection there would be in landfills? I was glad to do my small part to diminish global warming, lessen the evil effects of earthly human habitation, and decrease the likelihood of tooth decay.
