What #PlasticFreePledge will you make?
It seems our adventure without plastic is inspiring some people to make their own pledges and commitments to reduce the plastic in their lives. One of our neighbours has committed to never buying new clothing made of non-natural materials again. Someone mum works with didn't wrap their dog's leftover breakfast in cling film today and popped a plate over it instead.
Just think what we could achieve if everyone who reads this made their own pledge and asked their friends to make pledges too!
We're on day 28 and it's time to put the recycling out and the bin is only 2/3rds full and there are only 2 pieces of plastic in it. Our rubbish bin barely has anything in either. It's incredible how much we've reduced our waste by just by stopping buying plastic.
We've only got 2 days more to go and I'm still not sure where we'll draw the line. I expect it'll be toothpaste and frozen peas but I think we'll stick with most things.
Mum also found a really good website plasticisrubbish.com which has lots of information about the problems with plastic and the different types of plastic and which plastics are biodegradable.
