We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly. – Anne Marie Bonneau

The Activist Network has hit 100+ followers, and to celebrate, we’re conducting a bonus event! This event is open to everyone, not just members, and will run from 1st to 28th September. 

The theme of this event is Zero Waste Lifestyle. Before the month ends, you can post a progress report of sorts and share all the environmentally friendly decisions you made! Example, switching to a bamboo toothbrush, carrying a metal straw etc. Or, you could doodle some tips or compile a master post about zero waste.

Some (Not So Well Known) Tips On Helping The Environment

Instead of using paper to write to-do lists and discarding them, download an app such as Tasks! It saves paper and is easily accessible. 

For shower lovers, using a bucket and a jug might be hard at first, but it’s a great way to track the amount of water you use and less water used helps the environment!

Try switching to more sustainable alternatives for pads and/or tampons. Examples include menstrual cups, reusable period undergarments, etc. 

Get yourself an actual water bottle, instead of purchasing a plastic bottle or two every morning at the local store. 

The Activist Network has officially begun, and we’ve decided to focus on climate change for our first quest! This event is open to everyone, beginning from July 19th and ending on December 19th. 

Rules:  - You can post any kind of creation relating to climate change, whether it be gifs, edits, articles, original stories etc. Fanfiction describing how your characters face climate change is another example!

Hi! I'm so sorry <3 I'll open them right now.

And, yes! We will be focusing on a plethora of issues including fighting against racism, and for feminism and lgbtqia rights!

This is the endgame. You know this because you have heard countless stories about whales who have died because plastic choked them, deprived them of another day. You know this because humans have collapsed with ruined lungs and hearts full of regret. 

The end of the world does not come suddenly. You have watched it come with people who call issues that hurt thousands a hoax because it is convenient simply to them. For years, you have wished you could do something to help. 

Today, we bring you The Activist Network, a network that fights against ignorance and sloth, that participates in the fight against climate change. We want to make this world a better place to live in. 

How can you help? You can write articles explaining what people can do, little steps that eliminate hundreds of pounds of waste, at the very least. You can make gifs, and make edits about the wide-reaching effects of global warming. You can even write fics centred around global warming, and how your characters fight against it. 

Along with climate change, we will fight for people who face discrimination, and children who are thrown into War’s mouth. 

It seems small, and hardly enough, but I assure you that your efforts will have a ripple effect. This network is not for the faint-hearted. You must be angry, you must want change. The end is nearing. The Earth screams one last time. How will you help her?

Applications will be kept open for an indefinite period of time.
