Plastic Free July
July is a great month to begin a plastic detox in your home/lifestyle, but really any time is a good time. This July consider making plastic free alternative swaps to reduce the amount of plastic waste we create.
Some simple swaps you can make in your home include:
*Taking your own containers to the deli
*Saying no to bottled water and straws
*Use a reusable coffee cup
*Buy products in bulk, rather than individual packages of things
