Is anyone aware of one?

All the toothbrushes these days have huge plastic handles for better gripe. But how long do you use a toothbrush? Two months before it is worn out? Just think of all the plastic you're using year after year after year ... ya, these are the things I think about when I'm brushing my teeth.

So does anyone know of an environmentally friendly toothbrush?

I don't, but that's a really good point. Can you even recycle them?

I'm bad…never thought about recycling our toothbrushes! Anyhoo, I did a Google search on environmentally friendly toothbrushes and man oh man some of them are PRICEY!!!!!!!! I also read a rec to check out local health food stores.

The ones with replaceable heads would be 'better' at least and not 'as pricey *not the preserve one, it's quite reasonable
