Upcycle w/ Impact: Reusable Water Bottles (For the Homeless)
Anywhere
Staying hydrated is essential, but those experiencing homelessness don't have the means to buy something as simple and necessary as a water bottle.
Do you have extra reusable water bottles taking up space in a cupboard? Does your club or group have leftovers from a give-away or fundraiser? Gather them up! JustServe will distribute them to several organizations to aid those experiencing homelessness.
For the mailing address: https://www.justserve.org/projects/dafad050-9fa7-4ed4-b637-e4b1ea148748/collect-reusable-water-bottles-for-the-homeless

Worn Wear is our program to trade in and buy used Patagonia gear. Come hang with us at store events or on the road to keep great gear in play. The longer our goods stay in rotation (and out of the landfill), the more meaningful they become. Sometimes they end up telling our stories better than we can.
If it's broke, we'll help you fix it! Stay current on where our repair team will be: https://wornwear.patagonia.com/pages/events

What Single-Use Plastic Have You Given Up?
Anywhere
Think about it. Why would you make something that you’re going to use for a few minutes (out of a material that’s basically going to last forever), and just throw it away. What’s up with that?
Join participants around the world this July by taking a small step and pledging to refuse either single-use cups, plastic drink bottles or plastic food wrap. It's Plastic Free July! Committing to take a Plastic Free Pledge and sharing it publicly is a great way to show leadership and inspire others.

The longer our goods stay in rotation (and out of the landfill), the more meaningful they become. Sometimes they end up telling our stories better than we can. We're throwing it back to last year's road trip where we repaired more than 1,000 items.

In efforts to cut plastics, Delta Airlines has been spending years prototyping paper cups that can withstand hot, cold, and alcoholic drinks. Tada! Their new cups have hit the skies for final testing and will eliminate 7 MILLION pounds of plastic every year. ✈️ ♻️
