Guide to Plastic-Free July
Starting smallThe Big 4! Plastic bags, plastic bottles, coffee cups and straws.Start small by picking one, two or all of the above and try go a day, a week or a month without using them
Example
1. Try go an entire month without using any plastic bottles (use our funky reusable water bottles)
2. Try going a whole month without using take away coffee cups (the lids are made from plastic and the inside of the cardboard is lined with a thin layer of plastic)
3. Try going a week without using any of the Big 4 (plastic straws, bottles, bags and cups)
Too easy? Next steps...If that sounds too easy then your next step might be to start shopping plastic free.
1. Buy all of your fruit and veggies singularly (so not packaged in bundles) and using reusable veggie bags.
3. Using paper bags instead of plastic doggy poop bags to pick up your dogs bits (those council poop bags are the worst!)Completely Plastic Free!If you have most of that down packed, then you should take-up the month challenge of going COMPLETELY plastic free!Some idea's can include:1. Instead of using glad wrap, use bees wax wraps (they are amazing).2. Switch out your cleaning products for plastic free products or make your own and store in glass jars.3. Compost all of your food scraps.
