TreeBird’s Bamboo Toothbrush & Eco Floss Value Pack
Ok, obviously we’re biased, but we really do love and believe in our products! In fact, we created our line of toothbrushes and floss, because we wanted affordable, pretty, and of course, sustainable dental care for ourselves!
As you might have already learned on our site, the average person goes through three toothbrushes a year. With seven billion people on earth, that’s nearly 28,000,000,000 toothbrushes being tossed into our landfills and oceans each year.
By making the simple switch to TreeBird (and convincing your friends and family to do the same!), you can make a small step towards reducing plastic waste around the world. Get started with our Bamboo Toothbrush & Eco Floss Value Pack.
