Share My Actions

One of the best ways we can create change in our communities is simply by talking about it! This month, I will make my environmental actions visible by sharing about them on my social media networks and the Plastic Free Ecochallenge participant feed.

Become a Recycling Pro

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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.

    It helps me put less pressure on myself to always be plastic-free, but by just being aware of it and taking steps to reduce it (such as getting refillable liquid soaps for my house instead of buying a new soap every time) will help in the long run.

    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    I've learned quite a bit of what can and can't be recycled with 4R through experience and also learned that pizza boxes can be recycled if they have minimal grease on them - it's just the super grease-soaked boxes that can't be recycled.
