One of the easiest ways to green up your personal routine is to ditch bodywash and use bars of soap instead. Bodywash comes packaged in plastic bottles, is made with a high percentage of water (which makes the bottles heavy) and is often made with artificial dyes, fragrances and other chemicals. Bar soaps are minimally processed and packaged and are a much greener choice. If you want to travel with bar soaps, run a vegetable peeler along the edge and make soap curls. The curls can be used one at a time when you're on the go.
