You'll be an Plastic-Free Challenge expert in no time!
"Plastic Free is the Way To Be!"
I will spend 10 minutes educating my family on reasons to avoid plastic and how we will do it.
I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.
I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or at work.
I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.
I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).
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 make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.
I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.
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?
