Do you know why ear cleaning is so popular in Asia as compared to the rest of the world? That's because we Asians tend to develop dry ear wax which becomes irritating and itchy at times. There is nothing more pleasurable than that little stick of plastic with a cotton-head tickling our ears. But this pleasure comes at a cost. The plastic stem that beautifully fits between our index finger and thumb then makes its onward journey into landfills and/or the oceans. It poses a threat to the land and marine life. Should our pleasures, health and hygiene come at the cost of our ecosystem? Certainly not. And Voila we have the alternative!
Why do we need to look for an alternative?
Cleaning ears with cotton buds is a common practice that many of us indulge in regularly. One of the choices we make is use-and-throw ear cleaning buds. These small earbuds are for single-time use and then get thrown away. The stem, which is the major part of the earbud, comprises plastic as the primary material. And every time we throw an earbud, we are adding to the heaps of plastic garbage.
What do you think happens to that waste? The ear-cleaning buds we use and throw so carelessly are harmful to animals as well as our environment. They cannot be decomposed which makes waste management a tiresome task. Apart from affecting the flora and fauna, plastic is also one of the primary materials that are polluting our oceans. These earbuds for ear cleaning are generally dumped into water bodies as they cannot decompose naturally. This has contributed a great deal towards already increasing levels of pollution.
Isn't it perplexing how a small article like an earbud could severely affect the ecosystem in the long run? But you don’t need to worry. We introduced you to the problem so it’s our responsibility to provide you with a solution as well. And if it does not make you feel any better then we are certainly not going to ask you to compromise on your hygiene to protect the environment. So, let's have a rendezvous with eco-friendly cotton buds.
