Good Ideas Pt 1
Posted by Johnny
I was in DC for a gig staying at this hotel, whose name escapes me, and they had the best ecologically responsible products in the bathroom including this soap that I just fell in love with. I forgot all about it as soon as I left DC until I got to my friends house in Cambridge MA and noticed that not only did she a bar of it in her shower but she had amassed quite an arsenal of it as well. The soap’s schtick is the center has been removed because usually when a soap gets to a certain point in it’s life, like when it’s been reduced to a nub, it gets thrown out. The hope is that by removing the center we reduce waste. The packaging is all recycled material and the ink is soy based thus ensuring a kharmically clean experience.
Very cool! Friends of mine created a line of vegan soaps that are ecologically friendly. They have an award-winning barbox design to limit waste … same idea as the product above. Tim Bahash and Erick Rexrode are partners in business and life. Their company is 4mula, they’re located in Philadelphia and can be found @ 4mula.com! I love ‘em!
