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.
