What\u2019s SUP?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single Use Plastics, that\u2019s what! Plastic things designed to be used once like cutlery, bags, and straws might be considered convenient at times, but they can cause SUPER inconvenient issues for our planet and the animals that live here with us! SUPs not only take a lot of resources to make \u2014 over time they can actually contribute to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know what you\u2019re thinking\u2026 \u201cBut what about recycling?\u201d Unfortunately the answer is: not enough SUPs actually get recycled\u2026 90% of plastic waste hasn\u2019t been recycled or reused! YIKES!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Earth Rangers is challenging your family to CUT THE SUPS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Choose 3 single-use plastics that you want to cut out of your life.<\/li>
  2. Download the SUP tracking sheet<\/a> to record your family\u2019s use of single-use plastics (try doing this challenge for a week)<\/li>
  3. Avoid the 3 chosen items each day, opting for reusable alternatives.<\/li>
  4. At the end of each day, write down the number of times you and your family members said NOPE to SUPs.<\/li>
  5. Add up your NOPEs to see who cut the highest number of single-use plastics from their daily life.<\/li>
  6. Sign the pledge<\/a>\u200b to continue to cut SUPs at home and beyond!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
