First Steps: Start with You

Understand Plastic’s Impact on My Health

Plastics can leach harmful chemicals into food, water, and the air we breathe. I will spend 30 minutes learning about the health impacts of plastic exposure and explore safer swaps — like choosing glass or stainless steel over plastic for food storage and drinking water.

    I've been proud to take part in the Plastic-Free Challenge for many years, and each time I’ve found new ways to cut back on my personal plastic use. This year, my commitment continues—not just to reduce single-use plastics in my daily life, but also to deepen my understanding of how plastics affect our environment and to help raise awareness about their widespread impact.

    I’m excited to keep learning, challenging myself, and sharing what I discover with others. 😊
