Here is a single-use plastics challenge.

Try this for a week - make sure you find a way that works with your parents(don't just start collecting the single-use plastics in your bedroom) Start any day you want and you can simply take a picture of the collection. It is a simple project that allows us to see what Plastic waste we generate.

 1.) Collect all of your own plastic waste, both recyclable and non, for a minimum of one week. If you want to go for more than one week, great! Just keep each week’s collection separate.

2.) What qualifies as yours? Anything that benefits you. So, if your housemate or significant other brings home a tub of yogurt that you both share, the tub goes in your tally. But if you hate yogurt, never touch the stuff, and wouldn’t have bought it for yourself in a million years, it’s not your responsibility. What about stuff for your kids? I’ll leave that up to you. Whatever you decide, just be consistent about collecting it.
