Earth Month Challenge: How to Switch to a Zero-Waste Bathroom in 30 Days

So you wanna save the planet... but don’t know where to start? Let’s keep it real: going zero-waste overnight would be impossible (or is it?) but perhaps starting by swapping out your crusty plastic toothbrush for a SeaDifferently one? Now it doesn't sound so hard, does it?

This Earth Month, we created a 30 Day Zero-Waste Bathroom Challenge for you to achieve your ultimate #BathroomGlowUp. One small swap a day, zero eco-guilt, and a whole lot of impact.🌍

We’ve got a downloadable tracker linked below to keep you accountable. Ready to turn your rinse routine into a revolution? Let’s do this.

WEEK 1: The Basics — Start with the Small Stuff

• Day 1: Ditch plastic. Say hello to your new SeaDifferently Toothbrush 🪥 (made with recycled ocean plastic ;))
• Day 2: Switch to our new Slow Living Solid Toothpaste Tablets!
• Day 3: Learn about microplastics (spoiler: they’re in your mouthwash)
• Day 4: Make your own mouthwash (Pinterest it or use your own DIY)
• Day 5: Replace loofahs with natural sea sponges
• Day 6: Post a #BeforePhoto of your bathroom shelf
• Day 7: Reflect & reset: What swap felt easiest? Hardest?

WEEK 2: Step Up Your Sustainable Game

Don’t be shy to let us know once you’ve completed this 30 Day Challenge, whether you crushed every challenge or skipped a few (we see you, Day 17 👀), you’ve already made a serious dent in your plastic footprint.
