SUPER (Single-Use Plastic Elimination or Reduction)’s Post

For many of us, this upcoming Friday is Black Friday - a day of planned and encouraged uber spending and consumption (at least the retail industry hopes). At SUPER, we love the idea of #CitizenFriday, the idea of 'citizen-ING' or using our agency as people to connect with others or nature instead of shopping. Jon’s book reminds us to think of ourselves as citizens before consumers because when we do, we’re more likely to participate, volunteer and come together to make our communities and society stronger. For those of us in the United States, this might be a better way to think of giving thanks this Thanksgiving holiday. We learned about this program from Re-Action Collective and Jon Alexander's New Citizen Project and want to share the idea with you. There are 3 elements to Citizen Friday: Share, Repair, and Get out in the fresh air. The idea is to slow down and re-connect with ourselves, our communities and our beautiful world.  If you can get outside, enjoy some grean and Enjoy! #CitizensNotConsumers #BeSUPER #SingleUsePlastics #ThinkOutsideThePlastic
