Although most of my posts will relate to the weekly tasks that Ashley assigns to me, I have decided that on Mondays I will take a look at a company or organization that appears to be doing something green, environmentally friendly or healthy. Although I am not very familiar with many green products, one item that my wife has talked me into using is Eco-denT tooth powder in place of regular tooth paste.
I have to be honest that I do not use this all the time in place of my normal Colgate toothpaste, but use it at least once a day. The first time I tried the Eco-dent tooth powder, it made my teeth feel more clean than usual. I have found that the combination of Colgate in the morning and Eco-Dent in the evening makes my teeth happy.
On top of the fact that Eco-Dent makes my mouth feel like tulips in Spring, the packaging is environmentally friendly. It is made from recycled materials and can also be recycled. Instead of putting these containers in the recycle bin, we may keep these containers as a place to keep seeds for our garden.
This product may also be healthier for you or at least less wasteful. Although Fluoride is healthy in small doses, it also has the potential to be toxic in large doses. I likely get enough in the water I drink and from my visits to the dentist, so I am not really concerned about getting too little. They claim 100% natural ingredients, no dyes or sweeteners and they promise no animal testing.
As a consumer, I would recommend Eco-dent as a company that sells an environmentally friendly product that I stand by and trust.
