Let’s go back to one of the main principles of avoiding plastic from the first week of this challenge. Just say no! Refusal is a simple tactic to avoid all sorts of plastic and other garbage. Now that you have your bathroom drawers cleaned out, you don’t want to reintroduce a bunch of junk. A really easy way to do this is to avoid samples. Everyone can participate in this one.
Today’s Challenge: Refuse beauty samples. Now, every once in awhile you may legitimately want to try something before you invest the money in a full purchase. But, make sure it is a product that you have researched and know that you may want to use long term. Perfume samples, make-up, personal care products; you can walk through a department store and be offered 10 different samples in one fell swoop! Say “no thank you” and walk on by.
