Adam's actions
At Home
Make Green Cleaners
I will make 3 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.
At Home
Shop Used
I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.
At Home
Ditch the Disposable Cleaning Wipes
I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.
At Home
Skip the Dryer Sheets
I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.
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.
Plastics 101
Complete a waste audit
I will spend 30 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
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.
Food
Shop the Bulk Bins
Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 10 products from the bulk section using my own containers.
Food
Cook Meals with Zero Plastic Waste
I will prepare 5 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
Food
Swap the Snacks
I will swap 5 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.
