What was your goal?

My goal was to use as few single-use plastics as possible for the week.

Did you achieve it? How or how not?

I’d say that I did, since I avoided using food wrap as much as possible and reused any ziploc bags I had, and used my metal straw when I had the chance.

What was the most challenging part of achieving your goal?

Making sure my family didn’t end up giving me single-use plastics, since my parents always like to wrap my lunch in food wrap, I had to get a glass lunch container and make sure that my parents don’t end up wrapping my food again.

What will you do differently next time?

Perhaps broaden the types of plastics I avoid using, since I pretty much limited myself to ziploc bags and food wrap (I don’t really use any other plastic beyond that), perhaps I’ll make an effort to get a reusable cup or simply bring my water jug and metal straw around more often.

Will you continue on this goal? If you do, explain what you will do, if not explain why you are satisfied with where you are at.

I think I’ll try to keep going, since I feel as if I didn’t truly avoid enough plastics, just two types and that’s it. I’ll try to avoid plastic cups and straws, alongside plastic bags from supermarkets.
