People having been using something to clean their ears – I am guessing since time began. The inventor of the Q-tip (about 100 years ago) was watching his wife clean their baby’s ears with a tooth wrapped in cotton. Eureka the Q-tip was born. Now we have plastic versions also wrapped in cotton. Toothpick/Cotton = Bio-degradable, Plastic = Nope. So we have gotten worse from an environmentally friendly perspective from the original design.
So what is a greener solution to cleaning your ears, or getting the dust out of your car’s air vents? Well there are bamboo alternatives (also wrapped in cotton). Bamboo is a sustainable resource and a better alternative than plastic or paper. And Bamboo swabs are 100% Bio-degradable.
So swab away with the peace of mind that your are making an environmentally healthier choice for our planet. Because there is no “Planet B”.
