As one way to address our approved Minute to Reduce Plastics in the World the EFM Earthcare Support Group offers this Plastic-Free calendar. We will focus on single-use plastics, those things that are designed to be used once, then tossed. We will not give much attention to recycling and re-use in this calendar, though these are good steps. Research estimates that only 10% of our plastic waste is actually recycled, and, while re-using a single-use plastic item will stretch its usefulness, it is still another piece of plastic that will eventually go to the landfill.
Week 1 (February 19 – 25): Prepare and begin to fast.
Week 2 (February 6 – March 4: Food shopping.
Week 3 (March 5 – March 11): Your kitchen. Links repaired!
Week 4: Clothing and laundry We will focus on single-use plastics, those things that are designed to be used once, then tossed. Also, you might want to join the Eugene Friends Meeting Earthcare Support Group at our next meeting: Monday, April 3, at 7 p.m. We spend a bit of time discussing plastics and alternatives we’ve found. Just drop us an email and we’ll send the zoom link. Let us know if you have any questions, and happy plastic fasting!
Week 5: Your bathroom
Week 6: Celebrations, travel, and eating out
Week 7: The garden

The health of human communities is dependent upon the health of every interlocking piece of creation: the forests, plains and oceans and all the creatures that inhabit them. Let us go forward to live in right relationship with the whole of creation.
Interfaith EarthKeepers are of many faiths working together to save our sacred planet. We advocate for the powerless and our endangered planet, and demonstrate possibility in the face of antipathy. We support a ban on fossil fuel infrastructure development and on fossil fuel exports. We support electric vehicles, solar power, labelled GMOs, a carbon tax and campaign finance reform.
Our monthly meetings are held at different churches.
See the schedule above on this page for location and time.
