Simple Bathroom Swaps That Cut Waste Without Breaking the Bank
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: Easy sustainable bathroom swaps like non-toxic cleaners, reusable personal care items, and water-saving fixtures can significantly reduce waste and environmental impact while benefiting personal health.
📈 One key stat: Cutting back shower time by just a couple of minutes can save gallons of water each day, helping address one of the bathroom’s highest resource consumption areas.
💬 One key quote: “Sustainability isn’t about perfection — it’s about making better choices, one product at a time.”
1️⃣ The big picture: The bathroom stands out as one of the most wasteful spaces in homes, yet it’s often overlooked in sustainability discussions. From plastic-packaged products to chemical cleaners and high water usage, bathrooms present numerous environmental challenges. However, creating an eco-friendly bathroom doesn’t require expensive renovations or complex changes. Simple, intentional swaps can dramatically reduce environmental impact while potentially improving health outcomes. By focusing on reusable alternatives, non-toxic products, and mindful consumption habits, anyone can transform their bathroom into a greener space.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: Making sustainable bathroom swaps delivers benefits beyond environmental protection. Non-toxic cleaning products improve indoor air quality while reducing chemical runoff in waterways. Reusable personal care items like safety razors and washable cotton rounds not only decrease landfill waste but save money over time. Low-waste alternatives such as shampoo bars and toothpaste tablets eliminate plastic packaging without sacrificing effectiveness. Water conservation through simple tools like faucet aerators and low-flow showerheads cuts resource use significantly. These small changes create a ripple effect, reducing your ecological footprint across multiple aspects of daily life.
3️⃣ What’s next: Start by replacing conventional cleaners with eco-friendly alternatives that come in refillable or recyclable packaging. Gradually swap disposable items for reusable versions like washable cotton rounds and safety razors. Look for personal care products with minimal packaging, such as solid shampoo bars and cardboard-packaged deodorants. Install water-saving fixtures like low-flow showerheads to reduce consumption effortlessly.
