Plastic-Free July!

Entering its tenth year in 2020, Plastic Free July is a global movement that empowers individuals, communities, and businesses to choose to refuse single-use plastics in their lives. The challenge helps millions of people take small, daily actions to create long-lasting habits that minimize single-use plastic.

Plastic Free July is asking people and organizations to choose a challenge that suits their lifestyle, whether thatโ€™s switching to a reusable coffee cup for the month, or choosing to refuse fresh produce in plastic packaging.

People can choose to take the challenge in many ways, including:

  • avoiding plastic packaging,
  • refusing disposable takeaway cups and containers,
  • remembering to โ€˜BYOโ€™ water bottles and food containers,
  • cleaning up litter and
  • choosing natural alternatives to plastic.

The founder of Plastic Free July, Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, is urging people to be part of the challenge by avoiding single-use disposable plastic throughout July and sharing their ideas and success on the website, in social media and with friends.
