The problem of environmental pollution is getting serious. To solve this problem, every little act in our lives has to be changed. We thought about what was taken for granted in our lives, and as a result, we thought about brushing our teeth. We didn't think people were sensitive to toothbrush separation. The replacement period is said to be once every three months. Due to these frequent replacements, the amount of plastic waste is increasing. As the toothbrush material is made of eco-friendly materials, replacing only the head with a toothbrush will greatly help prevent environmental pollution. Similar to what I do every day, we were sure it wouldn't be a hassle to change our hair. Taking medicine such as vitamins and replacing razor blades are part of your daily life. When the brush head is removed and replaced in a similar manner as above, I can feel that environmental protection is not difficult, and I think environmental awareness will increase. The size of the toothbrush is similar to that of a traditional toothbrush, and the material is made of plastic made of bamboo fiber and corn starch.
