Plastic Free July

Plastic Free July

Did you know that Plastic Free July starts this Friday?

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of us come together to solve the plastic crisis that the world is currently facing. The end goal of this movement is to have the oceans free from plastic and to have a happier and healthier world without the need to rely on plastic.

Every day millions of us use single-use plastic products, but with this global movement, we can reduce our need for these and have cleaner streets and wonderful communities to live in.

So, how can you make a difference?

Just imagine what the world would be like if we all did one thing each day in July to reduce the usage of single-use plastics. By taking some small, simple steps, you can become part of the solution.

Firstly, we recommend that each day you focus on removing one kind of single-use plastic from your life. Think about how you can change it to a more durable solution, but keep it simple and easy so you don’t get overwhelmed.

Some examples could be:

• Reusing your shopping bags and keeping them handy for when you next head out the door
• Bring a reusable coffee cup the next time you meet up with your friends at the local café
• Consider alternatives to tampons and pads and think about plastic free options
• Look at your bathroom items such as your toothbrush and swap for a bamboo product
• If you have a special occasion to celebrate in July, think about decorating the event by using reusable decorative items or get creative with items from around your home

This movement is on a global scale, with over 190 countries participating, and you too could make a huge difference by making some small changes.
