This is where you either reduce your plastic intake or completely get rid of it throughout July. There's a different thing to do everyday, for example today it's 'choosing plastic free laundry products'. I've already written a post on some if you don't know what sort of things to buy, and you can read it here. Some other examples of ideas they've given us are: buying local, switch to plastic free stationary, use what you have.
This challenge provides ideas and resources to help everyone reduce single-use plastic everywhere you go. 'Our movement has inspired 100+ million participants across 190+ countries', as it says on their website. You can take their 'pesky plastics' quiz to see which plastics you should reduce and what you should start doing. They have all sort of different situations you can help in like your work, school and community with different ideas for each one. The things you do don't have to just be reducing plastic - you can also spread awareness. This could be having a movie night and watch a plastic-related documentary or do what I do and write a blog :).
One of the things that interested me was making plastic free decorations because all you need is a bit of creativity. You may have heard, I have in someplace or another, that you could make confetti out of dried leaves by just hole punching them. They sort of look aesthetic which is nice. You could buy reusable bamboo sets instead of using plastic cutlery (I also use my bamboo cutlery for lunch at school). This just shows you can use anything reusable in any situation.
Thank you for reading! See you in my next post!
