Does anyone have any for sure changes they are going to make towards their plastic habits? Such as reusable cups?

I hope everyone doing the challenge is learning more from it! Not to mention the amount of plastic they accumulated throughout the month (or less!)

Benefits of using bar soaps is they are a lot easier not to mention they last a lot longer. I know recently people have been making bar shampoo and even conditioner that is a lot nicer on your hair than cheap shampoo and conditioner. It is an action for your life you will need to get used to so it does take some time, it is easier on trips as...

Switching to a bamboo toothbrush is very beneficial to the environment as it eliminates unnecessary waste, it also cleans just as good as a plastic toothbrush.

Other single use items that are harmful to humans could be single use cups, I’m sure each time you go outside you’re bound to see a cup, not only is it harmful for the environment it’s also...

Caring for my pets and making sure the least amount of plastic is accumulated is connected as not only am I adding less pollution to the environment but I’m also helping other animals out in the process (wild animals that is)

After research I found out items that cannot be recycled can’t used the chasing arrows symbol, but that can still be fought around due to state recycling criteria.

One of the big impacts plastic production can have is harming life, humans included. It tears down the environment, animals end up either trapped or eating the plastic, which in turn humans who eat seafood then ingest that same plastic.

It was easy to plan food when traveling and the only thing it changed was the cost of buying food went down so more money for the trip, as well as less stops so we get there sooner, so highly recommend doing it if you don’t like spending money/ multiple stops

At first I didn’t realize plastic with recycling was numbered in a way, as well as how these numbers help categorize specific recyclables. This information can help me become a better recycler by using these identifications and recycling them by these identifications.
