Watch the short video below to learn the basics.
You'll be an Plastic Free Ecochallenge 2019 expert in no time!
I will make ahead large amount of sweetened drinks at home and bring them to work and not leave me tempted to buy drinks that are packed in a wasteful containter.
I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?
I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
I will purchase dry goods from the bulk section of my grocery store, and use my own containers to do so.
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 keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or I will 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 prepare my own pet food and treats to avoid plastic packaging.
I will spend 60 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.
I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.
If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.
I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.
I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.
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?
