  3. Join the Plastic-Free Challenge!
January 18, 2022January 18, 2022

February 1 – February 28, 2022

Although plastic is a versatile material with many uses, it is also concerning because it presents health risks, contributes to litter and pollution, and is challenging to dispose of. Some of the most common and problematic plastic items we deal with every day come in the form of packaging and single-use plastics.

Support the city’s team!

Hennepin County’s Plastic-Free Challenge engages residents in learning about plastics and plastic waste and committing to actions that help create a plastic-free world.

The challenge has 70 actions to choose from in seven categories. Participants check off the actions they already take, then select up to five one-time actions and five daily actions to track progress on during the four-week challenge.

Click here to join the city of Brooklyn Park team >

Each action scores points for our team. But who’s counting, because with this Challenge everyone’s a winner!
