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 advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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.
