What is Plastic Free July?
Plastic Free July is a challenge to refuse one single use plastic item for the month of July. The movement began in Western Australia and has grown to inspiring millions of people across more than 190 countries. Plastic Free July aims to reduce plastic pollution so we can all enjoy cleaner parks, rivers, oceans and more beautiful communities.
It’s a great opportunity to raise awareness about the simple, everyday actions we can take to reduce our plastic use. Take the pesky plastics quiz to find out how you can make the biggest change on the Plastic Free July website.
