What better way to mark Earth Day on April 23, than by taking part in Plastic Free Sea’s (PFS) Plastic Footprint Investigation. The challenge gives you a real understanding of the size of your plastic footprint, and therefore of the impact your lifestyle has on the planet.
How does it work? Firstly, you have to commit to cleaning and keeping all the throw-away plastic you use for one week. On the eighth day, make a list of everything you’ve accumulated and record your findings with a photo. Share your results with PFS.
Then the real challenge begins! Ask yourself: How can I use less plastic? What plastic habits can I change? Which company will I contact first to request that they reduce their packaging?
