Welcome to Plastic Free July 2019! We hope you’re as excited as we are to make a global impact by choosing to refuse single-use plastic this month. By making small changes to your everyday habits, you can make a huge difference. Some great ways to form these habits and avoid single-use plastics include:
- Keeping your reusables on hand (like having your shopping bags in the trunk of your car or by the door, and keeping your coffee cup or drink bottle in your bag).
- Planning and preparing meals and snacks ahead of time, so you don’t get caught out.
- Finding bulk food stores near your home or work.
- Enlisting your friends, colleagues, and family members to keep you accountable and do the challenge with you.
Once you choose one single-use plastic to avoid, you’ll quickly discover the other plastics in your life that you can start cutting out, too. Plastic Free July provides next steps to help people who want to take the challenge even further!
