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!

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will keep 9 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

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

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.
