Reflections from Plastic-Free July
As you know, Plastic-Free July has finally come to end. And over the course of this last month, I did my best to completely eliminate plastic from my everyday life. I avoided buying packaged blueberries. Everywhere I went, I carried my own cutlery. I didn’t buy bread because of its plastic wrappings. And I even brought my own containers to restaurants in case I had leftovers.
How to Reduce Plastic Waste by Brushing Your Teeth
Just because Plastic Free July is coming to an end doesn’t mean that you can’t keep trying to reduce your plastic use. Remember, every year, the average American generates about 230 pounds of plastic waste. That’s 230 pounds for every single person in the United States in one calendar year.
Plastic Free July
To celebrate sustainability and the environment, we are participating in Plastic Free July, a global movement that focuses on limiting single-use plastic and reducing the amount of plastic that we waste every single day. Imagine if you could see every single plastic water bottle you’ve ever thrown away. They would likely fill up your entire house, and that’s just plastic water bottles.
