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!

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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.

I will replace 3 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.
