Creation Care: Could you try a shampoo bar?

David Morgan has reduced his bathroom use of single-use plastic. This is what he has learned.

1) Why did you do it?

I switched to using a soap bar and a shampoo bar, which has massively reduced the use of plastic. They last much longer and are almost certainly less costly per wash. So, a double win!

2) How do you use it?

The shampoo bar works just like the highly-advertised brands, but with less lather.

3) What would you advise if someone wants to give this a try?

Give it a try!
The shampoo bars are now widely available, and although they seem expensive, they last forever!! Does my hair look amazing? No, but it never has done!"

Dorset Council have a page on Facebook and X with lots more eco tips and info - if you have a social media account just search for them.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.
