L.A. Zoo - Angeleno Plastic Eliminators (APE)

I went camping with friends, I told them we needed to go plastic free for this trip. We had 2 5-gallon water and filled our water bottles. We also brought our own utensils from home. The only thing we had in a plastic bottle was the coffee. For the oil, I used a glass container I had at home. Which I will save for my camping trip.  

Very glad I joined this challenge, I learned a lot!

Encourage others to use clean beauty brands

I've learned that plastic is everywhere and polluting even our bodies. 

It's going great. I am very glad I joined the challenge as I have learned so much about plastics and that bioplastics are not the panacea I thought. I will keep educating myself, pass my new knowledge to my friends and family and practice what I've learned 

Today in the New York Times I read an article about a man that is collecting grocery bags  & all other kinds of plastic to yarn. To make bags ..  look -up Single-Use Plastic Bags Get A Second Act.  By Jessica Iredale.   New York Times. 07/31/2022.    Turning a source of waste into totes.   

I was nin the grocery store yesterday watching a man getting his goods nand bagged them in his own recycled bags.  It was then that I thought the stores & California should pay customers $0.10 for every bag used, just like your charged for grocery bags.

  My mom lives in a senior  living place. They   waste so much paper,etc.  I called and asked if we could talk about ways they could  make some changes. 

A shout-out to my friends Charlie and Dakota, cofounders of the nonprofit organization Heirs to Our Oceans - “We are youth activists organizing around 🌊#climateaction & the #humanitariancrises🗣 we are inheriting to make real-world change. Heirs To Our Oceans are the next generation and the future generations who will inherit this planet...

Thank you Ms. Mary (Renaker) for introducing me to this challenge! I have had so much fun posting about my progress and journey to a plastic free household and community. Can’t wait until the next challenge!
