I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 10 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

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

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

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with a sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable option.

I will write or sign 3 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

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

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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