Sara Service

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable options.

I will write or sign 1 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

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 swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

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

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

When available, I will purchase clothing and bedding made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will use a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

I will dig a hole in my backyard about three feet deep to put dog poop in. Cover it with a large stone. It avoids using plastic bags and keeps poop out of waterways

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

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

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

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

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.
