Like all habit changes in life, sometimes you need a little guidance and inspiration to move from idea to action. To help you along on your journey to lead a more sustainable lifestyle, we would like to introduce you to plasticfreejuly.org.
The Plastic Free July campaign is led by a dedicated group of environmentally minded individuals at the registered nonprofit organization the Plastic Free Foundation. Based in Australia, their mission of seeing a world free of plastic waste has grown to be one of the most influential environmental campaigns on our planet.
