Monday Challenge – {Be} Free!
- Buy Nothing Day / No Waste Day / Cleanup Day / Reflection on consumerism (a day to observe just how much craziness is going on around us… and to take a step back… take a deep breathe… and reflect on the madness of what is truly happening! this is a potent opportunity to experience just how much waste is produced in our current consumer based society)
- don’t buy ANYTHING – do not support the consumerism monster
- create NO waste – NO garbage – no packaging/plastic/cardboard etc.
- carry a reusable water bottle & don’t add any more paper/plastic/foam cups to the landfill (www.mysigg.com)
- compost any food waste we create
- buy no gas/petroleum – maybe even ride our bike
- make our breakfast, lunch and dinner (hopefully with local organic produce) and take it with us in a re-usable container – cheaper than eating out and better for us
- no wasted plastic, foam or paper plates or utensils going into the landfill
- carry with us our own re-usable bamboo utensils & bowl, and canvas bag
- go for a little walk in our neighborhood and pick up some garbage – at least one ‘peace’ or a whole bag full
- help clean up our community and environment
