Kara Senn

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

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

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

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

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 pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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

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

I will host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

I will switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.
