Tony's actions
Lifestyle
KEEP IT UPCYCLE
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!
Food
Switch to Loose Leaf Tea
Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.
Food
Cook a Plastic Free Meal
I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
Food
Skip Plastic Bags
When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.
Food
Choose Reusable Food Storage
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Food
Plant a Garden
I will plant a herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodTake time to reflect or meditate over your plastic-free cup of tea. Share your thoughts and reflections with us here!
Tony Keer 7/13/2022 9:21 PMI drink so many cups of tea & coffee daily! With loose leaf, it's so much easier to ensure low use of plastic, plus with the recent composting bins from the city, we can compost the waste--as much as I love our balcony compost & all the hummingbirds it brings, we only have so much capacity & too much composting waste! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Tony Keer 7/07/2022 11:35 AMAlways keeping at least two reusable, easily foldable bags on hand, where I go, such as in my backpack (or similarly: purse, etc), makes it so much easier to not accidentally need to get a bag if I run by a store. Ensuring I have that convenience on hand makes it easy!
