Thinkers Meet Up is committed to working with Thinkers to save our environment.
​
In the Autumn 2019 term, several Thinkers came together to create a series of inspiring videos, information booklets, and a an environmental pledge. We discussed the power of becoming thoughtful consumers. We discussed the dangers of plastic. We donated $$ toward reforestation .
Buy what you NEED, not what you want
This is our Pledge for this term.
We invite you to join us!
​
The pledge
We are asking you to choose to change 4 things of the following for a month:
​
1: Try walking and cycling, instead of driving, when you can.
2: Try not to use airplanes.
3: If you want to make a gift, but are uncertain what to get a person, why not give them money with a kind note... this reduces unwanted consumption.
4: Look at where your food is coming from. Try to buy food with a low carbon footprint.
5: Try not to buy stuff you just don’t NEED like: wipes, slime, glitter, balloons, extra…
6: Don’t use goods that contain palm oil.
7: Try and repurpose and reuse everything you can.
8: Try to not consume less/no animal products.
9: Try to use less milk, cheese, butter, cream, and other dairy produce. Can you use no animal products for at least two days a week?
10: Reduce Reuse Recycle Rethink. Consume less.
