Found this on r/zerowaste and thought I would share it as a travel friendly soap dish, or an option to use in various rooms in the house.

We are now through the first week of #PlasticFreeJuly. Instead of buying new reusables and #zerowaste items, this #TryDayFriday remember to rethink, repurpose, and reuse what you have. Buying less can be even better than buying green. Graphic: homovirido

This #TryDayFriday lets aim to reduce single waste products whilst on the go. Personally, I keep a collapsable drinks cup in my bag on the off-chance I want a drink on the go therefore, I do not need a single use cup and lid.
Eco and Beyond (2019) reported that in the United Kingdom we "...waste 900,000 tonnes of bread every year in the UK. This equates to around 24 million slices, or 1 million loaves, every day. Or, almost 9 billion slices a year....in fact, almost half of all bread produced here in the UK, 44%, is thrown away."
This #TryDayFriday can we spare a thought for the common loaf of bread and buy only what we need, perhaps freeze slices make puddings such as bread and butter pudding, turn stale slices into breadcrumbs etc.
