Plastic Free Challenge - Day 31

-
Today's challenge (the final day) is to "be proud of the positive choices you made this month". Reflect back over the days and weeks of daily challenges and the choices you made each day to Refuse, Reuse, Repair, Rethink, Recycle and Reduce. Take time today to Rejoice your efforts, consistent choices made each day make such a difference. We hope this challenge has inspired you to continue on your journey to living a plastic-free life. Thank you for your efforts - together we are making a difference.

Sharing a few tools to help you continue your plastic free journey:

-I met Megan MacKenzie at the "Green Ideas @ your Library" event on May 4th. I was so impressed with the zero waste transformation she made over the past two years, check out her CBC News article "How 'simple, little changes' helped an Island woman ditch plastic".

-Zero Waste Canada has a: Breakfreefromplastics checklist to create a zero waste lifestyle.

-For your friends, family and colleagues that may have missed the May challenge we created a generic monthly challenge poster‬ so that anyone can begin any day of any month. One family used the May Challenge poster without the dates and crossed off the items as they completed the action. Stay tuned for future challenges, and if you have ideas please leave a note in the comments or reach out via our email address: happyoceanpei@gmail.com

Do you ever notice the pile of trash that is left over when you're done with your take-out meal? Our "throw-away" lifestyle has created tons of waste from single-use products that we use for just a few minutes. The environmental impacts on the planet from all the single-use items are enormous. For example: the average useful life of a "to-go" paper coffee cup, with the lid, the sleeve, the stir stick, and even the tray to hold it is 12 minutes! American consumers use 130 billion paper cups each year for coffee. That disposable coffee-cup habit uses 27 billion gallons of water, consumes 25 million trees, and generates 31 billion pounds of CO2. In Canada, nearly 90 percent of plastics end up in landfills, incinerators, lakes, parks and oceans. We can do better! We are determined to keep fighting for a cleaner and healthier world, and that’s why we are joining Plastics Thursday of the Waste Reduction Week, and we encourage you to do it with us!

Many of our Happy Ocean community group members have been participating in an informal plastic free challenge for the month of April. It was so insightful and life-changing for many that we decided to create a challenge for others to join us for the month of May. With our group's collective efforts and ideas we present to you the “31-Day Plastic Free Challenge" - May 2019 edition. This is meant to be a fun way to learn, engage in plastic-free actions, and make conscious choices each day that help protect our beautiful oceans (and planet). Please spread the word and challenge your friends, family, classmates and/or colleagues to join us. Thanks in advance for your efforts - together we can make a difference. Here is a link to the poster that you can refer to each day of the challenge:   http://bit.ly/31daysMay
