7/8 - 1 More Month of Zero Waste | Plastic Free July | Introduction | Free and Easy Zero Waste

Hi, I’m Mo.
It's July and time to celebrate and participate in Plastic Free July!! Time for another free and easy 1 More Month to Zero Waste. Please make sure to go to plasticfreejuly.org for more info and challenges for PFJ.
In it's simplest form, PFJ is a month out of the year to think about, be mindful of, and give up disposable plastics in your life. This is a month for people all over the globe to come up with alternatives, use reuseables, and avoid disposable plastic. For 1 More Month of Zero Waste, we have tried to be mindful of disposable plastics. We did a trash audit and tried to see what plastics we used and how we could cut down. We learned how to give up plastic bags and bring reusables or make switches to use less plastic. We gave up disposable plastic bottles and learned to carry our reusable water bottle. So what can we give up in July? Let's take a week to see what we want to give up and be thoughtful when we are shopping, eating out, getting take out, and going about our day to day lives. Do you order take out for lunch? Do you use a plastic straw? Do you buy pasta in plastic? Do you drink beverages out of plastic bottles? What swaps can you make this month?
