I've been trying to cut accidental plastic from my diet, and after swapping out half my kitchen I realize I also put my toothbrush in my mouth, so I need a new one. Closest I've been able to come is the bamboo brushes from Humble Co., but even they have nylon bristles. Does anyone know of anyone who offers toothbrushes with zero plastic in them?

Well, I didn't say fuck small independent businesses... It's just that we're in the Buy European comm, which is about European goods and services... And American is not European...

That being said, the goal of the Buy European movement, in general, isn't to screw over American businesses of any size, but to strengthen and support European businesses. If you're buying from the US, consider buying from Europe instead. That's how that goes.

It's not just "buy EU because fuck the American corpos" but also "buy EU to stimulate the local economy and end the reliance on US"
