Chapters

Americans alone waste 3,000 tons of paper towels a day. And so when you start thinking about those numbers and you start seeing it in your own house, you make that switch and suddenly you're looking at everything else and you're seeing, what about these plastic bags that, you know, you take to work or cotton balls that you use to clean your face? And there's just so many things that we don't really need to throw away, but we're programmed. To buy, buy, buy to consume and throw away and buy, buy, buy again. It's been such a journey for us even over the years before we made things to try different products and how can we improve upon that.
