You'll be an Plastic Free Ecochallenge 2023 expert in no time!
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
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 keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.
When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.
I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.
If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.
I will spend 15 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.
I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.
Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.
I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.
