Plastic Free July

Written on May 22, 2018 in General

Plastic Free July aims to raise awareness of the problems with single-use disposable plastic and challenges people to do something about it.

CHOOSE TO REFUSE – ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE

The plastic bottles, bags and takeaway containers that we use just for a few minutes use a material that is designed to last forever.

Choose to be part of the solution. You can act by:

Avoiding products in plastic packaging (choose alternatives)
Reducing where possible (opt for refills, remember your reusable shopping bags)
Refusing plastics that escape as litter (e.g. straws, takeaway cups, utensils, balloons)
Recycling what cannot be avoided

Join over two million people world-wide stepping up in Plastic Free July in 2018. Choose to Refuse: http://www.plasticfreejuly.org/
