This July, we challenge you to join what the Plastic Free Foundation has named “Plastic Free July.”
The movement calls for consumers everywhere to take strides to reduce their plastic intake during the month to raise awareness of plastic pollution.
The Plastic Free July campaign began in 2011, with the goals of reducing single-use plastic and changing consumer habits. Since then the movement has gained global recognition with participation spanning 190 countries and 89 million individuals. The impacts of the campaign are nothing short of amazing. In their 2023 Impact report, the foundation noted that in five years, participation in Plastic Free July has led to a 10 million metric ton reduction of household waste and recycling.
