BAR SOAP?<\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right. What’s wrong with bar soap?<\/p>\n

This year occasionally I’m going to post something that irritates me about what’s going on around me.<\/p>\n

And this is the first post of that type.<\/p>\n

So I ask you–what’s wrong with bar soap?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a child and young woman, I used bar soap and then about a decade or more ago, suddenly body wash appeared.<\/p>\n

Body wash is liquid soap. Now what’s my beef with liquid soap?<\/p>\n

My beef is that when the liquid soap is done, I’m left with a plastic bottle.<\/p>\n

When I’m done with a bar of soap, I’m left with nothing, nothing to throw away or recycle. It’s just gone!<\/p>\n

This goes also for those plastic dispensers with anti-bacterial liquid soap by each sink. Again I’m left with a plastic bottle and pump to dispose of.<\/p>\n

\"liquid-soap-female-hands-isolated-white-background-39339918\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s my beef. Garbage<\/strong><\/span>, especially non-degradable garbage is a problem, a big one.<\/p>\n

So why add to it?<\/p>\n

Go buy a bar of soap!<\/p>\n

Whatever brand you choose. And if you want to use liquid soap at the sink, go buy a ceramic reusable dispenser. You can find them really cheap at Walmart or Goodwill.<\/p>\n

Just avoid the plastic bottle that goes into the garbage.<\/p>\n

Now am I right or am I crazy?–Lyn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
