brand audit:

home brand audit

Home Brand Audit! After you fill out and submit your data card to Ann Marie Hunter via email: annemarie.hunter28@gmail.com by September 30th, we have some additional steps you can take to help turn off the tap on plastic! Resources below.

return to sender program

Participate in the global “Return to Sender” movement! After you finish collecting a week’s worth of plastic and sort the items by brand, group them together and ship them back to the corporation responsible for producing the plastic pollution.

We’ve provided letters for you to send these companies to tell them that while you like their product, you don’t want the plastic packaging and they need to take responsibility for the plastic pollution they’ve produced -- and they need to stop producing more of it. You can include these letters in your packages of plastic waste when you send them back to the companies or send the letters by themselves! All resources below.
