Liz's actions
Community
Keep My Community Clean
I will pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.
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!
Personal Care
A Sustainable Flow
I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.
Lifestyle
Buy Only What I Need
I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
Personal Care
Say No to "Flushable Wipes"
Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
Community
Research Local Waste Sites
I will spend 10 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
Personal Care
Green Beauty
When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.
Personal Care
Practice Sustainable Fashion
I will spend 5 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.
Food
Use Reusable Utensils
I will keep 10 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityIn what neighborhoods or areas of your region are landfills or other waste sites located? Which communities are most affected by these locations?
Liz La Dou 7/01/2022 7:01 PMThe landfills in my city are close to capacity. So now we sort our own trash even more. Various areas were made into landfills years ago. The nearest one to me is actually near an area with expensive homes. There is continual conflict as the landfill is located in one city and the road leading to it in another city. Each has shut the other out at times!
