Go plastic free this July

Go plastic free this July

In the UK, we throw away over 5 million tonnes of plastic every year – half of which is packaging. That is a whopping amount of waste. The same as over 197,000 London busses in wrapping alone.

This July, we want to challenge you to go plastic-free for a whole month! 

Just think of the difference cutting out plastics from our daily lives could make if we all made a change today.  

From the single-use plastic wraps to toothbrushes and coffee cups – give plastic the push this July and replace it with something better for the planet.

Why not try: 

• Helping to remove plastic from the ecosystem with a litter pick in a local park, green space or beach  

• Choosing reusable drinks bottles 

• Looking for local fresh produce without the packaging 

• Switching from bottled to bar soap 

Want to do more? Get a friend or family member to join you in the challenge, and share your tips for reducing your use of plastic with us on social media using #PlasticFreeJuly @SoilAssociation
