Post to our Team APE feed about an item that you "upcycled" or "creatively reused" and thereby avoided consuming plastic associated with buying a new item and having that item sent to you/your area!

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

I will visit the rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

Purchasing Bulk Dog Treats cut down on packaging and can be stored in glass containers for use.

Purchase flavored tea - make the tea with hot water, then let cool and create my own flavored tea. No need to purchase from Coffee Shop or in a bottle. Saving cups & bottles from the landfill

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.
