Plastic Free July
What is it
Plastic Free July (PFJ) aims to raise awareness of the amount of unneeded plastic in our lives by encouraging people to eliminate the use of single-use plastic during July each year.
Single-use includes plastic shopping bags, plastic cups, straws, plastic packaging. Basically anything that is intended only to be used once and then sent to landfill. If refusing ALL single use plastic sounds too daunting this time, try the TOP 4 challenge (straws, plastic bags, plastic bottles & coffee cups).
The Rules:-
- Attempt to consume no single-use plastic during July
- Remember it's not going to be easy! It is a challenge, not a competition!
- Collect any unavoidable single use plastic you buy and share with us at the end of July
- It is up to you how long you participate, we encourage you to do it for a month, but you might prefer just a day or week!
