Plant-Based Biodegradable Toothbrush Takes A Bite Out Of Landfill Waste
This biodegradable toothbrush is made from plant-based Ingeo
Tomorrow morning when you’re at the sink brushing your teeth, think about this: Every year about 450 million toothbrushes — almost half a billion — make their way into landfills in the US. And since they’re made of plastic, the majority of those toothbrushes will never biodegrade, and will remain in those landfills decade after decade. Long after you, and your teeth, are gone.
To reduce those staggering numbers, a new line of biodegradable and compostable toothbrushes, complete with a travel case, made from a plant-based resin called Ingeo, has just hit store shelves and is ready to sit on your bathroom counter.
This new toothbrush from World Centric is shaped like a traditional toothbrush, but when the bristles wear out, you just snap off the head — the bristles are made from traditional nylon, so a notch in the handle makes it easy to snap the head off — and send the rest of the toothbrush and the travel case to a commercial composting facility. The plant-based Ingeo is designed to fully compost within 3 to 6 six months in an industrial composter.
Don’t have a commercial composting facility nearby? Don’t throw the World Centric brush in the garbage and assume it will degrade in the landfill. Landfills are created to avoid degradation and will not break down the toothbrushes. Instead, World Centric provides a prepaid envelope that you can use return the toothbrush and case to them, and they’ll send it to a composting facility for biodegradation.
The 7-inch World Centric toothbrush and case comes in blue, green and orange and sells for $4.55. They are available at natural grocery stores, some Whole Foods stores nationwide and online. Making it easy to fight cavities and pollution at the same time.

The 41 elected police and crime commissioners (PCCs) will set the budget for their local force and decide what its priorities and strategy should be.
PCCs will have the power to hire and fire chief constables, the top officers on a police force, and they will also be in charge of support services for victims.
Until now the work of a PCC was done by a police authority, a group of about 17 people.
The government says these authorities are invisible to the public and hopes the new system will make the police more accountable.
Many places in the US already elect commissioners, or sheriffs, who are in charge of the police.
Between £65,000 and £100,000 a year, depending on the size of the force and the challenges in their area.Some officers fear it could mean politicians interfering in their jobs as many of the candidates are linked to political parties.
It has also been suggested that talented candidates might be overlooked in favour of those with big personalities.
If the voter turnout is very low, it will be hard for commissioners to claim they have the backing of the public.
There are fears too that money may be diverted to deal with more popular topics, like litter and graffiti, over forced marriage or sexual violence.

Q1.Why are they being elected?
Q2.How much are they being paid?
