You'll be an Plastic Free Ecochallenge 2023 expert in no time!
When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.
I will plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.
I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.
I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.
Single-use plastics are everywhere, but that wasn't always the case. I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the history of single-use plastics and how it became ubiquitous in our daily lives.
I will make my environmental actions visible by sharing about them on my social media networks and the Plastic Free Ecochallenge participant feed.
I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.
When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.
I will replace 1 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.
I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.
