A list to have a zero waste bathroom:
"Don't use face wash or toothpaste with microbeads. These tiny plastic beads go down the drain, eventually making their way to rivers, lakes, and the ocean at a rate of eight trillion a day in the United States. Because these toxic beads look a lot like fish food, it's not uncommon for bigger fish and sea turtles to munch on them—a dish that could be deadly."

DIY (dry hair):
Dry shampoo could save 552 millions of plastic bottles each year!
All purpose cleaner: 50% vinegar (with orange or lemon zest for a nice smell), 50% water, Essential Oils (Lavender, tea tree, peppermint, etc.)
To unclog your sink or bath, pour some baking soda in the drain and add vinegar (careful, this is a chemical reaction and it will bubble!, keep your hands and eyes away!). Once the reaction is complete (no more bubbles), add boiling water. Repeat if necessary.
"Americans use over 34 million rolls of toilet paper every day which wastes precious resources and damages the environment and ecosystems that rely on trees. Using a bidet can reduce your toilet paper consumption by 80% and as a result, is fighting against the pulp industry which destroys 270,000 trees per day and wastes 37 gallons of water per toilet paper roll but TUSHY bidet does not stop there. They have a Give Back Program with Samagra, an organization that builds safe latrines for families in rural India. With ever TUSHY you buy, a portion of your purchase for to this great cause.
It doesn’t stop there. In 2019, TUSHY bidet will be putting their money where the butt is by becoming a carbon neutral brand. They are taking action on climate change and will offset their carbon emissions to become an official carbon Zero company." @BidetGenius

Like many New Yorkers you do not have a washing machine at home? If you are lucky enough to leave in Williamsburg, then you can try to go and visit Celsious Social, a modern laudromat with an eco-friendly approach. They use energy-efficient machines and propose eco-friendly detergents.

2 options are feasible:
1. The easy one is to start with a soap kind of mixture.
