I want to reverse my habit of buying single-use plastics whilst shopping for household groceries and as an individual. I own a metal water bottle and reusable coffee cup but will often forget them when out and about and am prone to buy lunch last minute (and in environmentally unfriendly packaging if nothing else available).
I’m planning a trip to my local zero-waste supermarket this weekend, whilst my partner has committed to using our local deli and butcher rather than on the ‘big 4’ supermarkets. I will need to work on my organisational skills for this challenge (more prior planning required – less convenience shopping!) but am looking forward to the month ahead.

Shandin Rickard-Hughes commented on Day 1: My challenge – a plastic free month 3 years agoAmazing Francesca! Good luck, a big challenge given how pervasive plastic is and how much organisational work it will require, but really admirable and I look forward to reading your tips so that I can do more of that myself! Good job getting your partner on board - I would love to transition away from the big supermarkets too so will be eager to learn how you get on. Respond

Francesca Mahon commented on Day 1: My challenge – a plastic free month 3 years agoThank you Shandin! A big challenge indeed but the area I live in luckily offers many sustainable shops so I'm hoping it will get me more engaged with my local community too. Looking forward to this month and us all sharing our experiences. Respond

cCHANGE Team commented on Day 1: My challenge – a plastic free month 3 years agoHi Francesca, Leonie here. Welcome to the Climate Justice Challenge! This is a great challenge. I can already see that it will impact your habits in a number of ways. I guess you may be starting to notice by now just how much single-use plastic there is around. We are really looking forward to following your journey and reading what you learn. All the best with it, Leonie P.S.:Michelle, one of the other participants who is trying to reduce food waste and plastic consumption signed up for home delivered vegetables.
