Who goes there?!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, it\u2019s you, Earth Rangers! I\u2019m surprised to see you here. You might be wondering what I, Sheriff Pickles, am doing out here in the city. Trying to stop that pesky Single-Use Plastic Gang, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I was called here from the forest by my good friend, Deputy Dipper, who\u2019s charge of protecting city animals from these baddies. There are some new villains on the roster who especially love to invade our city streets. We could really use your help!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Who are these troublesome plastics?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These four baddies can be found anywhere in cities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Foul Filter<\/strong> is a plastic found in cigarette filters, which a lot of people throw right on the ground (grrr!)<\/em>.
\u2022 The Wrapper<\/strong> is plastic wrap that covers snack foods and other items.
\u2022 Glum Gum<\/strong> is a sweet treat that you may know as\u2026 chewing gum! That\u2019s right, most chewing gum\u2019s gum base is a mix of plastic and other chemicals.
\u2022 Styrofoot <\/strong>is a plastic better known as Styrofoam, found in many products from containers and packaging to building insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These plastics are not our friends. All four of these villains can be easily found littered on sidewalks, under benches or in grass. They might wash away into waterways and travel all the way into the ocean. Animals can also mistake them for food, gobbling them up where it gets stuck in their tummies or makes them sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must stop them!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let Glum Gum and Foul Filter trick you! They are just as bad for your health as they are for animals. Just don\u2019t have them. If you find any of these baddies wandering the streets, pick them up using gloves or a garbage picker and throw them out! You can also fight The Wrapper and Styrofoot at home by using reusable containers instead of single-use plastics to carry food and making sure to properly discard any you find outside.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Several US states are fighting to ban the usage of plastics like Styrofoot, but we\u2019ve got a long way to go! This is where Deputy Dipper and I need you. Yes, you Earth Rangers can help too to stop these villains! All you need to do to defeat them is stop using them, replace them with reusable products, or make sure they\u2019re disposed of properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are small changes you can do that will make a big difference to us and our animal friends.
Why not start cutting the SUP today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
