Join millions of people reducing their plastic waste!

Rebecca Prince-Ruiz (the founder of the Plastic Free Foundation) and a small team in local government in Western Australia, started Plastic Free July and it is now one of the most influential environmental campaigns in the world. Millions of people across the globe take part every year, with many committing to reducing plastic pollution far beyond the month of July.

It began so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, communities, and bodies free from the harmful chemicals we consume because of plastic.  Will you join this global movement and be a part of the solution by refusing single-use plastics?

We would love to hear how you do!
