Watch the short video below to learn the basics.
You'll be an Plastic-Free Challenge expert in no time!
I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.
I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.
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 spend 5 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 reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.
I will recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.
I will avoid using disposables, such as balloons, table covers and single-use favors as well as disposable plates, cups and utensils for special occasions.
I will pick up 5 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
