My challenge
To cut down on plastic waste

Hello 🙂

For the next 30 days I have chosen to undertake the challenge of reducing (and hopefully eliminating) my plastic waste. 

I chose this challenge because I’ve always felt guilty about the amount of plastic waste that I accumulated every week. I’ve always wanted to cut down on plastic waste but living with my family it was not easy to do so because there’s so many of us and it’s hard to live plastic free in a family of 6. 

Now that I’m living on my own I can make my own conscious choices and I’m excited to get started !

I am aware that other challenges will stem from cutting down on plastic waste like having to change my diet depending on what plastic free options are available to me , but I’m happy to face these challenges too.

I hope to inspire others around me such as family and friends , and I’m looking forward to reading and gaining inspiration from everybody else’s journeys throughout this challenge too :))
