Week one of the Plastic Challenge!
Dear John,
It's go time!
It might seem daunting at first, but don't worry if it seems like everything is covered in single-use plastic, small changes will lead to big differences and you'll soon find equivalent products with better packaging.
Remembering a reusable bag, taking your own containers, refusing straws and finding shampoos in bar form are all small actions that will help you get started with your new, plastic-free lifestyle.
To begin we have a mission for you:
Take a picture of the most ridiculous and wasteful use of plastic from supermarkets, retailers or restaurants that you can find, then share your picture with us on social media using the #GOPlasticFree hashtag.
Together we can raise awareness of how pointless plastic packaging can be!
Do you want to fundraise for marine conservation? Set up a fundraising page during your plastic-free journey and any money you raise will go towards making our oceans cleaner and healthier.
If you’re finding it difficult, remember to take a look through our guide to plastic-free living. You’ll find tips and hints to help you along the way and give you the inspiration you might need.
You can also check out our plastic-free shop for some great products to help you along the way.
It's not too late to encourage your friends to take the Plastic Challenge! Ask them to sign up too.
Thank you for daring to go plastic-free this July!
Good luck, The Plastic Challenge Team
