Embrace Imperfection

Eliminating 100% of all plastic from our lives simply isn't possible. Throughout this month, I will embrace imperfection in my plastic-free journey while exploring and testing new ways to reduce my plastic footprint.

Use What You Have

The only thing worse than a single-use item is a zero-use item! I will use (and use up) what I already have in my home before buying something new.

    My buy nothing group of filled with so many generous people. It makes me want to do the same. I always struggle with holding onto something because I might need it later and don’t want to buy another one but with this group I can let things go and just ask the group if I need it in the future.

    It can be a taboo subject but a huge change I’ve made in my life is switching to a menstrual cup. It’s more comfortable, only needs to be emptied every 12 hours, has no risks of TSS or other contaminants, and you only need to replace one every 10 years (I spend only $40 every 10 years!!) If you haven’t heard or you are nervous I strongly recommend you give it a try. That or a disc could be a complete game changer like it was for me.

    Change is slow but thinking back to past July challenges I remember it being harder to skip the plastic bag at a retail store. Thanks to bag bans I no longer have to convince the cashier that I really don’t need a bag.

    I enjoyed the survey as another moment of reflection on my own plastic journey
