Today marks the first day of PLASTIC-FREE JULY β»οΈπβ»οΈπ
Started in 2011 by Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, an Aussie based in WA and founder of the Plastic Free Foundation, Plastic-free July is one of the most influential environmental campaigns on the planet. We love its mission, "seeing a world free of plastic waste," and we're up for the challenge this whole month and beyond. π
Let's honor the first day with some useful tips for reducing plastic-use π
π‘When grocery shopping, try out reusable cloth bags for fruit and veg instead of the plastic bags the shop provides. You can buy these bags at many major shops now or order them online from eBay or similar. π
π‘Refill shops are opening up all over Australia - bring along your bottles, bags, and containers and refill everything from flour, rice, and pasta to dishwashing liquid and shampoo! Ask on your local Facebook group where your closest shop is. π ππ
What's on your how-to checklist on living & working with less plastic? Let's swap notes! π We're all for spreading solutions and ideas that help reduce plastic pollution.
