Misti Payne

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.

If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

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

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
