You can join a challenge this week to reduce your single-use plastic use (or at least become more aware of it!)
If you’re a fan of Brian Lehrer on WNYC you may have heard about this.
Here’s a bit of a summary:
Enter at any level: keep a log, take a picture of all the single-use plastic from your week, or the substitutes or hacks you find to #PlasticChallenge and tag @brianlehrershow (and @FPCYorktown!) if you’re so inclined. Use that hashtag on Instagram and Twitter with pictures of things like:
- The non-plastic cutlery you keep at your desk;
- The barista refilling your reusable coffee cup
- Your WNYC eco-tote [or other plastic bag alternative] in action;
- The log you’ve kept of all the plastic you’ve used or avoided using this week;
- The pile of discarded single-use plastic you’ve kept just to see how big it gets;
- The glass jar you take to the bulk-goods store;
- The single-use plastic you simply can’t do without, and why;
