We Dare You to Ditch Plastic
This Plastic Free July, let's rethink our daily routines and discover how small changes can add up over time.
Every week in July, we'll focus on a different part of daily life and challenge ourselves to look at it with fresh eyes.
You'll receive simple dares, practical tips, product recommendations, and easy ideas you can try at your own pace.
No need to change everything. Just start with one routine and see where it leads.
Four Weeks. Four Dares.
Which one will you take first?
Dare #1
Plastic-Free Oral Care
Your toothbrush will outlast you by about 450 years. Your toothpaste tube isn't much better. Try swapping just one item: how about trying a bamboo toothbrush? Or discovering toothpaste tablets? Or switching to plant-based dental floss?
Dare #2
Re-Imagine Your Bathroom
The average bathroom holds a dozen plastic bottles - shampoo, conditioner, body wash - plus plastic razor handles, plastic brushes, and more. Try swapping just one item: how about long-lasting solid bar alternatives? Or a bamboo hairbrush or comb? Or a sisal shower glove?
Dare #3
Let's Free Your Kitchen From Plastic
Plastic wrap, sponges, produce bags, dish soap bottles... The kitchen hides plastic in plain sight. Try swapping just one staple: how about switching to beeswax wraps instead of plastic wrap? Or a dish soap bar instead of a bottle? Or a Swedish dishcloth that replaces 17 rolls of paper towels?
Dare #4
When On-The-Go
Take a look at what you grab when you head out the door. A plastic water bottle? Plastic wrap for your snacks? A handful of plastic bags? Try swapping just one: how about a stainless steel water bottle you'll use for years? Or a reusable market bag that folds into your pocket? Or snack bags you can wash and use again?

More Than a Dare
At Ciclado, we believe that sustainable living should be accessible and practical, not overwhelming, and not expensive.
We curate products that are plastic-free, compostable, reusable, or beautifully re-purposed. And every July, we join the global Plastic Free July movement and we dare ourselves, and you, to take one more step toward a home and a routine with a little less plastic in it.
We also plant one tree for every order, and a few times a year you'll find us volunteering at beach and park clean-ups around the Bay Area in California. If you're local, we'd love for you to join us.
