In the spirit of maintaining a sense of control and purpose in a time of ever-increasing climate anxiety, you might be embracing subtle lifestyle changes to reduce your carbon footprint. Perhaps you've incorporated flexitarian eating, cut down on single-use plastics and are relying less on cars for transportation. Some people, however, are making more of a splash. Bidets — specialized bathroom fixtures that rinse your rear — are making a comeback, and new affordable attachments mean they're more accessible than ever. Beyond the thorough cleaning perks, bidets are often marketed as being more environmentally friendly than using toilet paper, with manufacturing companies claiming bidets can save trees, water and reduce your carbon footprint.
Khloé Kardashian Fires Back After Facing Online Backlash Over Plastic Water-Bottle Comments
Khloé Kardashian is responding after facing a backlash over some comments she made about water bottles this week. Kardashian ranted on her Instagram Story about people pouring single-use plastic bottles into reusable bottles, insisting it defeats the purpose. She also encouraged people to buy “water filtration adaptors” to hook up to their sinks instead of buying plastic bottles. However, some social media users pointed out that Kardashian uses private jets and things like balloons at parties, which also aren’t great for the environment.
