This July is the perfect time to embrace a plastic-free lifestyle. Plastic Free July is an international movement aimed at reducing plastic pollution. This initiative encourages individuals and businesses to tackle plastic pollution by making simple changes to their daily lives. Check out what we can do this month with you.
Why Plastic-Free?
Plastic pollution is a major environmental problem affecting wildlife, oceans and human health. We can contribute to a healthier planet by reducing our plastic consumption. Plastics take hundreds of years to break down and often end up in the oceans, harming marine life and entering the food chain.
