Found zero waste shampoo and body wash
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
So the common plastic pump you see in every soap dispenser has two parts - the part you screw onto the soap container, and the piston thingy, above that, that you push down to get the soap to spurt out of and into your hand.
If you put something above the screwy part, on the lowest part of the piston, you reduce the amount that the piston goes down. And reduce the amount of soap that can come out.
