Sharing and gathering ways to help contribute to making the world kinder, fairer and more just. Great for busy people and/or travellers.

It’s great to have the Plastic Free July providing all these ideas on how we can help the planet.

Welcome to the 11th Plastic Free July! *cheers from all over the world* 🥳

Plastic Free July is a personal challenge, part of a global effort, for the oceans, for cleaner streets, improved health and wellbeing and for the planet. 🌏

It's about learning to make small changes. Choose one single-use plastic to avoid and you’ll soon discover another…and another great solution. 💡

Signing up to the official Plastic Free July challenge (https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/take-the-challenge/) is the easiest way to discover the plastic free solutions that suit you.

Once you join, you’ll receive resources and ideas to help you (and millions of others around the world) reduce single-use plastic waste every day at home, work, school, and out in the community. 🏡

It’s not about being perfect (there is no failing with Plastic Free July). Just do what you can!

Many people start by looking at the plastics in their life (look inside your garbage/recycling bin, fridge or pantry) and start with choosing to refuse one single-use plastic.

300+ million participants in 177 countries. Together, we are creating a world without plastic waste —during July (and beyond!). 🚀

Best of all, being part of Plastic Free July helps people find great alternatives that can become new habits forever—personally and as a community.

It is easy to question what difference one person can make but last year our participants avoided 900 million kg of plastic waste. Together WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!
