The Bite:
The bar soap, that is, 'cuz the verdict's in: Bars are eco-friendlier and cheaper than liquid latherers. Plain(tiff) and simple.
Think you could pass it?

The Benefits:
- Eco-friendly evidence. In terms of weight, packaging waste accounts for 31% of the waste we send to landfills. Bars use way less.
- Saving to pay your law school loans. Bar soaps cost less than their liquid equivalents.
- An injunction against germs. Studies have found that bar soap (even when you share it with others) keeps you just as clean as liquid.
Personally Speaking:
Toshio often washes his hair with bar soap instead of shampoo. His SO says it makes his hair smell like pennies.
Wanna Try:
- Skinnyskinny Soap Set - gift-y set of six bars (many made with food-grade ingredients such as exfoliating black pepper), packaged in a zero-waste, book-shaped reusable box, with soaps wrapped in pages of discarded tomes ($48).
- SoapRocks - superlong-lasting, gemstone-inspired soap hunks ($15).
- Sappo Hill Glycerine Crème Soap - inexpensive and made with glycerine and coconut and palm oils; order without packaging for less waste ($2).

Cocktail Fact
Guam's bar exam once boasted a 0% pass rate - but then, only three wannabe lawyers actually took it that session.
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters buy a bar of soap instead of a container of the liquid stuff, we'll avert the weight of eight paralegals in packaging waste.
