You'll be an Plastic Free Ecochallenge 2023 expert in no time!
"Committed to reducing use of plastics!"
I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.
I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.
I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.
I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.
I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.
Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.
