Inky’s Picnic Plea

25

Yoo hoo! Yes, you! Can I have some of what you’re eating? Whaat? What do you mean a chipmunk like me can’t eat human food? That’s so sad!

What’s my name? Oh, it’s Inky. You see that pen over there? That’s what I’m named after.

I like coming here because there’s always leftover food. If I’m careful, I can find something good to eat. Yes, some of your food can cause tummy troubles for a chipmunk like me. But the biggest problem is plastic!

Leaving trash after a picnic is bad. Worse is letting any of the Single-Use Plastic Gang escape and hurt animals and the environment! These plastics are hard to recycle and they contribute to climate change. They can also injure animals like me or make us sick.

Who are they?

Four members of the Single-Use Plastic Gang like to join you during your picnics:

  • Aquatron is a plastic soft drink or water bottle
  • Baron Von Cuppington is a plastic drink cup
  • The Picnic Gang are plastic cutlery that help you eat
  • Plastosaurus is a single-use takeout container that carries food that you bought

What can you do to help?

Defeat single-use plastics by replacing them with eco-friendly, reusable picnic dishes.

What better time to start than now, during Plastic Free July?

Bring your own reusable bottle and drink cup, and say bye-bye to Aquatron and Baron Von Cuppington.

Use metal or reusable cutlery, and the Picnic Gang can’t get near you.

Bring your food in a reusable container, and Plastosaurus can roar but it can’t leave plastic behind anymore.

Celebrate this month by cutting back on plastic, enjoying fun picnics, and saving the planet! Join us for Plastic Free July!

Say NO to single-use plastics to help animals and the planet. Cut the SUP!

  5. I am actually thinking about accepting the more plastic more problems mission.
    Because plastic is mean.
