(of soap.)
Over the past year, I’ve swapped liquid body wash for the bar variety. It’s less expensive and saves packaging waste. Plus, all of that water IN the liquid wash uses… you guessed it, more water. (More water = more weight & energy = increased fuel costs for transportation)
Supposedly the average bar of soap lasts for 20 showers (vs. a 16 ounce of body wash is 80) – Although body wash costs more than 4 x’s the bar. (However, my bars of soap seem to last literally for 30-40 showers.)
