You'll be an 2018 People's Ecochallenge expert in no time!
I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
I will avoid sending 6 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
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?
