24 Hour Plastics Pledge
Live Plastics Free for 24 Hours…sounds doable right? It may be harder than you think! But that’s okay, this challenge is to help us all realize just how much plastic we use daily and how it affects our environment. So, here is your chance to give it a shot. Take your own non-plastic coffee mug, drink water from a reusable non-plastic container, don’t purchase food packaged in plastic… These are just a few ideas on how to eliminate plastic in your life. http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/rap_pledge
