Cotton Swabs
Choose double-tipped cotton swabs (aka Q-tips) that are connected with spindles made from tightly rolled paper over those made from plastic. Paper board spindles are potentially biodegradable & use renewable resources; where as plastic spindles are made from petroleum and will not biodegrade. Across 10 % of the US households, the petroleum energy saved per year would be equivalent to over 150,000 gallons of gasoline.
