You'll be an Plastic Free Ecochallenge 2022 expert in no time!
"Cleaning up the world one step at a time"
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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
I will make my own cleaning products at home.
I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.
If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with a sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable option.
If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.
When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.
I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.
I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
