Cut The Plastic

Mutual Aid and Civil Defense with Cut The Plastic EMS- stems from a series of groups that provide food, clothing and jobs for housing insecure people in the Denver Metropolitan area. We take food that would be destined for the landfill and divert it so that housed and unhoused members of the community have access to home cooked nutritional meals, clean drinking water, laundered clothing and personal hygiene needs. Residents volunteer at food banks; collect bruised, damaged or "expired' food from grocery stores; transfer it to people who cook meals in their homes and take it to public spaces to provide safe spaces for people to eat. We collect and purchase sustainable containers for storing drinking water reducing reliance of plasticized water, provide permanent (not disposable) plates and silverware that is washed after each meal and work with laundry services to ensure that people without housing have access to fresh laundry. Additionally we promote issues important to our communities like having access to water, affordable housing and fighting laws that criminalize people for being poor. These methods include providing potable water to people who live on the street, participating in the political sphere to fight efforts to criminalize poverty and assisting people in navigating the infrastructure of low income services to find solutions assisting people in receiving the dignity of stability in their lives.
