This month is Plastic Free July!
Started by Rebecca Prince-Ruiz and a small team in Western Australia, it’s now a global environmental movement that millions of people take part in every year.
This year I’ll be participating for the first time and I’ve committed to targeting takeaway items for the entire month of July. The top 4 being: bags, bottles, straws, and coffee cups.
Others taking the challenge can also commit to avoid single-use plastic packaging or go completely plastic free. The plastic free July challenge can be done for 1 day, 1 week, the entire month, or from now on.
If you’re interested, you can register for the challenge here.
While I try to reduce my environmental footprint as much as possible, I know there are areas that I can improve. Over the next month I’ll be sharing my experience with Plastic Free July and various eco-friendly focused blog posts.
