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

  • Day 8: Switch to a bamboo or refillable floss
  • Day 9: Try a natural bamboo tongue scraper (your breath will thank you)

WEEK 3: Glow-Up Mode: Whole Bathroom Edition

  • Day 15: Switch to toilet paper wrapped in paper (not plastic)

  • Day 25: Research your city’s composting options
  • Day 26: Set a 3-month zero-waste goal
  • Day 27: Treat yo’self: Sustainable self-care day 💅
  • Day 28: Review your progress — what worked? What flopped?
  • Day 29: Post your final glow-up bathroom shelf!
  • Day 30: Celebrate! You crushed the challenge 🎉

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.

So go ahead, snap that glow-up shelf, flex your new low-waste faves, and tag us with #BathroomGlowUp.

Earth thanks you. Your future self thanks you. And your bathroom? Oh, it slays now. 🌍💅
