Green Tip | Plastic Free July |
Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution - so we can have a better planet. Will you be part of Plastic Free July by choosing to refuse single use plastic? Start by looking at the plastic in your life and choose one or two items to change. Can you use bar soap instead of liquids in plastic bottles? Can you refuse a plastic straw and bring your own reusable one? Can you keep a reusable cup in the car for coffee on the go? Can you use your wastebaskets without a plastic liner? By participating, you can find alternatives to plastic that can become a habit. For more ideas and inspiration, go to https://www.plasticfreejuly.org
