How Plastic-Free Can You Be?

How Plastic-Free Can You Be?

We all hate plastic and what it does to our oceans and landfills, but it’s hard to break the habit. The Plastic Free EcoChallenge is a month-long effort starting July 1st where we offer each other encouragement and support to shift away from our single-use plastic dependency. Join us as we explore alternatives to plastic. We’ll have demos, samples, and resource. Did we mention there will be beer, wine and snacks? (served on anything but plastic).

There will even be a Reusables Swap! Bring your extra shopping bags, coffee cups, water bottles, etc., to share with others, and pick up a reusable you need. Bring your ideas! We want to hear them!

We’ll also talk about repurposing plastic so it stays out of the waste stream. If you eat single serving yogurts, please bring the used plastic cups… we re-use them to distribute seedlings at street fairs.

To sign up for the month-long challenge visit https://plasticfree.ecochallenge.org/and choose Team Catskills, another team, or create your own team with friends and family. Before we go virtual, let’s meet face-to-face at Bushel for a fun, plastic-free gathering.

This event is co-hosted with Transition Catskills
