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.
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
I will spend 15 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 try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.
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 learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.
Contamination makes the recycling process more difficult. I will review which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my county and recycle only those items.
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?
