are there any environmentally friendly earplugs?

[Garnett]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Please move it if so. I use earplugs nearly every night. I need some new ones. Does anyone have any recommendations for environmentally and animal friendly ones?

Thanks!

I just have regular old foamy earplugs from Walgreens.

I'm not sure about animal-friendly, but here's a link for environmentally friendly products. The 'beauty' section may lead to a site with ear plug products. Its such a specific product, I'm not sure where to direct you. I'm not even sure what material you'd be looking for, maybe cork?

you would never have thought that you might find something like this:

Not perfect but the cord is recycled material and the ear plugs are apparently 100% recyclable. Not sure where you could buy them though. :(

Also from the Green Office - they don't say they are recycled or anything but the site sells enviro friendly stuff. Quite sazzy looking too! :D

I'm a doof so please excuse me but what's wrong with earplugs? I'm actually about to buy some too (it's a hot market right now lol). So what exactly am I looking for?

I swear I learn something everyday :)

How about reusable ones, or is that what you were already using? Obviously, they'd have to be cleaned in between uses.
