The other day, while wandering through Coles in Brunswick, I spotted something that caught my eye - refillable roll-on deodorant bottles from Thank You. It got me thinking about our ongoing battle with single-use plastics and the small changes we can make in our daily routines to reduce waste.

Looking at the $15 price tag, my bargain-hunting instincts initially made me hesitate. That’s quite a jump from the regular $4 options sitting right next to it. But sometimes we need to look beyond the immediate cost to see the bigger picture. The environmental impact of throwing away plastic deodorant containers every few weeks adds up significantly over time.
