I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

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

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 60 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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