Week 2 is about changing small habits and fostering our awareness for the plastic we encounter in our everyday life. The aim of this week is to identify and figure out what you are able to change RIGHT NOW. Using your waste audit or just observations in your daily life, identify either which “rooms” (referring to the waste audit) or moments you fell into an accidental plastic use.

Some people may argue that individual consumer choices won’t have much of an effect on the outcomes we are seeing on our planet nowadays… Small steps forward can help people recognize the positive effects of their actions, and begins the conversation with others about why they are choosing to do something different, and encourage them to take a stand against corporations and to push their elected officials to do the same.

Welcome to our Plastic Free July Challenge. This week we will conduct a waste audit, and bring our water bottle and coffee cup with us whenever we leave the house.
