bar shampoo gets a no from me, I have a HORRIBLE amount of hair/skin oil (genetic) and if I don’t wash my hair for even 1 day it looks like an absolute mess.
good news is that when I’m older I’ll have absolutely glorious hair though lol

The straw thing seems like such an inconsequential place to start over things like switching to bar soap and bar shampoo to avoid using so many plastic bottles.

I use bar shampoo and body wash. Daily, because i sweat a lot (genetics too).
I use bar stuff because i have to shower daily. It prevents so much waste, because i work through soap fast, so at least i am not producing plastic waste.
If you have to wash your hair a lot, thats an argument for bar shampoo, not against.

Nooooooooo please oh no, pleasee, you can’t make me use bar soap please noo.
I seriously hate it, maybe saving the planet is not worth it after all /j…= but also those bottles are refillable while straws are not only single use but are thrown away way more often.

Think of it in scale. It’s not just you. It’s millions of people. Even if every household only used one bottle over one year that still would be tons of tons of (easily to avoid) waste. And of course it’s a lot more than one bottle a year.

All you need to do is walk on the side of a busy road and look in the ditch to see what people just throw away.
It’s not a lot of shampoo bottles, but tons of plastic cups and accompanied straws.
