World Ocean Day
Did you know that our oceans cover 70% of the worlds surface? They produce at least 50% of the worlds oxygen and absorb around 30% of the carbon dioxide we humans produce. Our oceans are home to the most biodiverse places on earth.
Today is World Oceans Day. Whilst it’s a great opportunity to highlight the issues and problems our seas are facing on a global scale, we must also take the time to see a positive movement and how we can get involved to help.
The Ocean Cleanup
This inspirational project is the brainchild of Boyan Slat. At 16 years on a diving holiday, he became concerned that he found more plastic in the water than fish. This inspired a huge project which today removes up to 50% of plastic from the oceans and actively tries to intercept it before it reaches there.
Sophisticated engineering is behind trawlers designed to pick up plastic, caught up in the ocean’s currents, and convert it to energy as well as placing ‘interceptors’ - a kind of plastic filter - in plastic pollution hot spots.
Plastic Eating Bacteria
A great solution for those who like a bit of a sci-fi twist to saving the planet. In 2016, two teams of researchers in Japan identified 'Ideonella sakaiensis'. Bacterial microbes that break down 75% of plastics in the study.
It isn’t just bacteria that can make a meal of plastic. The Waxworm, so-called as it has been known to feed on beeswax, has a unique gut bacteria that converts plastic used for shopping bags into a food source.
Ironically, it’s nature that could provide us with a large part of the solution. We’re only just beginning to scratch the surface of ways that natural organisms can help rid us of the plastic already in circulation. There are worms, mushrooms and microbes all currently being studied for their abilities to convert plastic into an energy source.
Global Efforts
It’s encouraging to see that after amounting pressure, large conglomerates and world leaders are starting to take climate change seriously and that the need for change is finally having an impact on the global population.
More and more consumers are looking for solutions to plastic packaging. There are more options for those looking to lead a greener lifestyle.
Organisations such as Plastic Pollution Coalition, Surfers Against Sewage, Greenpeace and the WWF are pulling together to make an impact on reducing the pollution to our oceans. Whilst It’s important to accept the gravity of the damage that has been done in the 20th century, the global community is now finding the resources to reverse that damage.

from 1839 reviewsHaving long avoided mainstream mouthwashes, I was delighted to find this; that it has an added probiotic element, is a bonus. Tastes great, and leaves me enjoying my honeyed coffee all the more, knowing I can swish with this thereafter.

I bought this toothpaste as I was looking for something without harmful chemicals and plastic free. This toothpaste covers all that. Tastes great, leaves my teeth feeling really clean. Doesn’t stop sensitivity though.

I love the packaging and how my mouth feels clean

Have been using the bundle & its giving my great results. Less discomfort in my gums. And the enamel on the teeth look so much better than before, I started using Truthpaste. Fabulous that they come in glass jars ,Not plastic 😀. Will be continuing to purchase from now on .

Love using these toothpaste as my sensitivity has reduced and I feel my gums have also become less receded

Love the toothpaste!! It’s feels different from others!! More clean! Other products great too!
No plastic tubes and packaging! And love the quality of it you!!! Highly recommend!!

The best mouthwash Ive ever used. It tastes great, the effect is very long lasting and there’s no any nasties in it. Repeated purchase many times.

Staff were brilliant and the products are great, will continue to use and am going to get for myself too.

This kit is a nice step up from the mundane oral hygene routine stuff ive had in the past. The glass is a nice, almost luxury touch compared with the cheap single use plastics of everyday products. The mouthwash is strong but not overpowering. The toothpaste is a little "gritty" if anything but ive gotten used to it. And the floss does a good job as well.
All in all, a very nice set, does a good job and i will be back for more

The structure of my teeth has been perilous for years - I have long ground my teeth at night and don’t get on with mouthguards. So it is wonderful to know that each day I use something that is helping to counteract the impact of that grinding and the foods and drinks I consume. I also love that I am not throwing away this product, given the jar. I already cannot imagine using another toothpaste.

I have been using truthpaste for over a year and have noticed a real improvement in my teeth sensitivity and brightness. I will never go back to conventional toothpaste brands.

I have used Sensodyne since I had to see a gum specialist for mild gum disease. My teeth had become sensitive to cold water even. If I stopped using Sensodyne, the sensitivity returned but then that all changed with this toothpaste, so aptly named....Truthpaste. I saw the reel on social media claiming improvement from first use, I thought Yeah right but gave it a go. They were not wrong. My sensitivity has healed, I can enjoy cool water and my teeth passed my next dental exam - delighted and recommending everywhere and even stock it in my own health shop.

No bleeding gums since using your truth paste

Natural, in glass and fairly big. Since it doesn’t have sodium bicarbonate it doesn’t leave mouth ulcers like some natural toothpastes. Does a very good job! :)
