Watch the short video below to learn the basics.
You'll be an Plastic-Free Challenge expert in no time!
I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.
The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.
I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.
I will purchase toothpaste powder or toothpaste tabs in plastic-free packaging.
I will spend 10 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers.
I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or at work.
I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).
