I recycle plastic bottles, glass, newspapers, and cardboard; I drive 40 miles per hour on the freeway and get called &#8220;grandma&#8221; by non-eco-friendly drivers to maximize my car&#8217;s gas mileage; I take lame gifts given to me, rewrap them, and give them to someone else;  and I flush the toilet only if I go Number Two.  I also love companies that promote eco-friendly products and ideas, so it is no surprise that I really like the Method Sea Minerals Hand Wash Refill, which consists of 96 ounces of pure Method eco-friendly goodness. <\/p>\n<p>The regular 12-ounce bottle of Method Hand Wash costs about $3-$4, so it was really nice to get eight times the amount of soap for only twice the price at Costco.  Whether you have to wash after shaking the hand of someone who you think is crazy or get fresh blood off of your hands, the Method Sea Mineral Hand Wash will get your hands clean in a biodegradable, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Triclosan#Health_concerns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">triclosan<\/a>-free, naturally derived, and animal testing-free way.  The Sea Mineral soap itself had a pleasant, clean scent that kind of reminded me of the sea, but I&#8217;m not sure about it smelling like sea minerals.  Although, I have to admit that I don&#8217;t know what sea minerals are, which is, of course, sad because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  <\/p>\n<p>Method could&#8217;ve gone the easy route and just put something simple on the bottle to encourage us to recycle it, like &#8220;Recycle this, bitch!&#8221;  Instead, printed on the bottle are their recommendations for possible uses when it&#8217;s empty, which are turning it either into a vase, water jug, or piggy bank.  However, when I&#8217;m done with mine I&#8217;m probably going to either go all Matthew McConaughey on it and turn it into a musical instrument or carry it around with me and whenever I come up with a good idea I hold it above my head upside down.  <\/p>\n<p>With all of this eco-friendly love, I feel like hugging a tree, but I&#8217;m afraid I might hurt it, so instead I&#8217;ll have to settle for hugging this huge Method Sea Minerals Hand Wash Refill bottle, which you can see below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HDFopX9Y48w\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Method Sea Minerals Hand Wash Refill<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $7.89<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  96 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Costco<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Nice smell.
