Help us make the Plastic Free Ecochallenge the best it can be! Take the challenge pre-survey (and look out for the post-survey at the end of the challenge!) so we can better understand the impact the challenge has and how we can improve in the future. Plus, you'll earn points for completing it! Thank you!

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

Pads and tampons are typically made with plastics, and about 41 million pounds of menstrual products end up in landfills every year. This month, I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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.
