Srsly. I dab it on dry with a powder puff in the morning and never have odor all day long. Every deodorant I have ever tried wore off after a while, but baking soda just keeps on giving its best.

What makes the most sense to me is to focus on those things where we use the most plastic. That's food for us. A package of deodorant, which we share, lasts us about 2-3 years. That seems like a really long time, but we don't stink, so it seems to work for us. At that rate, I'm not overly concerned about finding a plastic-free alternative. Your mileage may vary, of course :-) I just started reading this blog, http://blog.earthlingshandbook.org/, and she reuses glass jars for her food storage/leftovers. I'm pretty sure that our Rubbermaid containers are made of BPA and need to be replaced. In the past, I would have looked for another plastic item. Thanks to you, I am motivated to try something non-plastic, and thanks to Becca, glass pickle jars may be the answer. So, you are already making a difference just by creating this site.
