Join us for Plastic Free July!

It's our 3rd year participating in a fantastic initiative started in Australia in 2011 called Plastic Free July.

The Plastic Free July Foundation’s mission is to build a global movement that dramatically reduces plastic use and improves recycling. In July 2020 alone, an estimated 326 million people across the globe took part in the challenge from 177 countries to reduce their consumption of single-use plastics in July and beyond.
