Millions Of People Around The World Join Plastic Free July

Can you avoid single-use plastic for a month? Millions of people from around the world have signed up for Plastic Free July, an initiative from the Plastic Free Foundation. Participants take on the challenge to avoid single-use plastic for the month, swapping out disposable cups for reusable ones, and plastic shopping bags for material totes. Half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once and then thrown away, adding to the trillions of pounds of plastic waste polluting the planet.
