I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and containers in my family's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

I will make my environmental actions visible by sharing about them on my social media networks and the Plastic Free Ecochallenge participant feed.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 30 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
