Rachel's actions
Plastics 101
Read Plastic-Free Challenge emails
I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.
At Home
Ditch the Disposable Cleaning Wipes
I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.
At Home
REUSE TRASH BAGS BEFORE PURCHASING NEW
I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.
At Home
Shop Used
I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.
Plastics 101
Watch a Documentary
I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.
Personal Care
Buy Reusable Bathroom Products
I will replace my [item] with a reusable [item] in the bathroom (disposable cups, makeup wipes and soap dispensers, etc.).
Food
Swap the Snacks
I will swap 2 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.
Food
Shop the Bulk Bins
Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 2 products from the bulk section using my own containers.
At Home
Choose Natural Clothing Fibers
I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.
