PUP’s SUPs Challenge
How few SUPs can you exit the store with?
Prairy knocked over the recyling bin. She and Starbuck were upset by what they found. They want to issue us all a challenge. We challenged people to take their grocery shopping list to the store and see how many products could be can purchased without them being packaged in single use plastics or made with some portion of single use plastics. They were asked to calculate and record the percent of single use plastic (SUP) items theiir purchases contained. (SUP items are things wrapped or made from plastic that are used ones. ie shampoo or milk bottles, . SUP = items that were wrapped in or contained single use plastic, including the plastic bags you may use to carry them out). SUP/ total items purchased x 100 = % of SUP itemsSUP's Day by Day in July
In connection with the Plastic Free July campaign, MPP sharded a Daily Digest of single use plastics, SUP, information. Everyday a resource about SUP was uploaded to MPP Facebook. One report declared that we consume and inhale 5 grams of plastic per week, the equivalence of a credit card. This information seeks to educate, impower and bring HOPE and real action for ending SUP negative impacts. The resource content included information on the entire plastic cycle and their impacts. Some resources included: articles, videos, books, youth educational information, recommended letters to legislators, petitions, and connections to our partners and their bank of educational resources and suggested action you may take.
