Quotes:

  • 1.Participants had a total savings of 940 million kilograms of plastic waste each year. ( plastic free foundation website)
    That is mind blowing. Just think if you can contribute to this number to what a big impact that has
    on our planet 8.5 out of 10 people made changes that became lasting habits.( plastic free foundation website)
    And that's really what needs to happen here.

    2. So why plastic free July? Well, virtually every piece of plastic ever manufactured still exists in some form today.
    Single use plastics are not being recycled effectively.
    And we're seeing the damaging effects on our environment, especially in our oceans and our wildlife.
    This will have catastrophic ramifications. ( Plastic Free Foundation

    3. I love that the campaign really aims to empower us.
    And that reassures us that you don't need to strive for zero waste right off the get go.
    Because overwhelming us will just create a lot of stress.
    And if it's too difficult to sustain, it will make us feel like failures and cause us to give up.
    This is the last thing they want. Remember what I always say if you're feeling overwhelmed, start small.
