My Mom used to make my siblings and me brush with plain baking soda and salt, so I don't find the taste horrible. To address your question about why Eco-Dent is more ecologically friendly: 1. One bottle of Eco-Dent lasts a very, very long time, thus reducing items entering the waste stream. 2. Their packaging is easily recyclable. I don't think toothpaste tubes are recyclable or, if they are, they aren't easily recycled. There may be more reasons having to do with manufacturing processes, but I don't know. They also have dental floss that is packaged in a much more ecologically sound way as well. I’ve been using Eco-Dent for years.
