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!
Community
Raise Money For a Nonprofit
I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.
Lifestyle
Ditch Dryer Sheets
I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.
Lifestyle
Hanging laundry
I will continue to line dry my clothes as much as possible.
Lifestyle
Carry out containers
When eating out I will take my own containers to put my left overs in. Instead of using the plastic containers the restaurant gives.

Out of landfill
I will recycle bras, socks, underwear that I do not use anymore.

Buy Only What I Need
I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
