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
