Cartoon: Liquid soap → Bar soap Took me 400 years todecompose. Worth it??

Instead of

Liquid soap Bar soap

Why switch

Healthier

Fewer synthetic preservatives and fragrances sitting on your skin.

Greener

A bar’s footprint per wash is far smaller — and there’s no pump bottle to bin.

The impact

You, per year 3 pump bottles1.6 kg CO₂
All of the world 24.3 billion pump bottles skipped / year

If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:

  • 24.3 billion pump bottles
  • 13 billion kg CO₂

Reduce, reuse, recycle

Reduce

Buy one unwrapped bar instead of a bottle you re-buy every month.

Reuse

Squish leftover slivers into the next bar, or pop them in a soap-saver pouch.

Recycle

Compost the paper wrap — there was never a bottle to recycle.
