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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

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

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

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

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

If possible, I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.
