City Of Eden Prairie: Join Hennepin County's Plastic-Free Challenge

Press release from the City of Eden Prairie:

01/13/2022

Kick off the new year with Hennepin County’s Plastic-Free Challenge, an effective way to adopt new habits that will help you set and keep resolutions to lower your impact on the environment.

Plastics are problematic for many reasons. They create waste and litter, contribute to climate change, pollute our water and harm wildlife.

Be part of the solution to reduce waste, protect water and wildlife, address climate change, and look after the health of ourselves and future generations by joining the Hennepin County Plastic-Free Challenge and committing to actions that help create a plastic-free world.

The Plastic-Free Challenge is a month-long effort starting Feb. 1 to reduce plastic consumption, especially single-use plastics, in ways that fit best in your lifestyle and are most impactful to reducing your footprint. The online challenge includes 70 actions you can choose from in seven categories.

Signup is open through Jan. 31, and the challenge runs during the month of February 2022. Once you sign up and create your profile, you can browse the categories and actions, check off the actions you already take, and select up to five one-time actions and five daily actions to make progress on during the four-week challenge.

You can also create a team to take the challenge along with your family, friends, neighbors and colleagues, or encourage an organization, business or community group you are a part of to become a Hennepin County Plastic-Free Challenge Partner.

Learn more, sign up and get ready to go plastic-free at hennepinplasticfree.ecochallenge.org.
