This month is officially Plastic Free July.

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people around the world to be part of the solution to plastic pollution by making a small change in their lives. When one person makes a small change in their lives to support greener choices, it has a far wider impact.

By encouraging people to not use single-use plastic, Plastic Free July also aims to help people find alternatives that can become greener choices that they adopt longterm.

The Plastic Free July website provides resources and ideas to help you (and millions of others around the world) reduce single-use plastic waste everyday at home, work, school, and even at your local café.
