Don't forget your recycled toothbrush
Is it me, or are toothbrushes a bit rubbish these days? Perhaps I'm just a bit vigorous with my brushing, but I seem to have to replace them with alarming regularity. And cost aside, that's not good when most are made from brand new lumps of plastic.
Which is why I'm now switching to the Preserve recycled variety; also known as 'the toothbrush made from yoghurt pots', as a lot of the plastic used to make them comes from Stonyfield yoghurt cups. The brushes are now more affordable than ever, as Sainsbury's has slashed the price of Preserve by a third, so a toothbrush now costs just £1.99!

What do you think of tooth brushes with changeable heads? How environmentally friendly are they? (or not?)
