Plastic Free July

This global movement is tackling the massive problem of plastic pollution head-on. 

Every year, a mind-boggling 150 million tonnes of plastic is used and tossed away, enough to circle the Earth four times! Sadly, a significant portion ends up in our oceans, harming both the environment and precious wildlife. Sea turtles and sea birds are being impacted, with plastic found in their habitats.

Plastic Free July is  an annual event that provides resources and ideas to help us reduce single-use plastic waste everyday.  It started as a little grassroots movement in Western Australia in 2011 and has grown into a global movement. This year, Plastic Free July will see millions of people around the world pledge to be more aware and reduce our use of plastics.

By participating in Plastic Free July, individuals have already reduced household waste by an average of 76 kilograms per year, contributing to a staggering total saving of 490 million kilograms of plastic waste annually. 

Small changes, big difference!
