Happy July 3RD! It’s not too late to join in on Plastic Free July. Maybe you’ve read my other posts, “Slowly Approaching Zero Waste, Part I + II“… and if you have, this is another great way to keep yourself accountable (and to learn new methods on how to adopt a plastic-free lifestyle).
I know that it may seem a bit daunting. For me, even with my lifestyle changes in approaching zero waste, I already feel like I’m setup to fail. But that shouldn’t stop me from challenging myself to be even more mindful about what I’m buying and how I can continue to change things up, since we are literally surrounded by plastic. It’s like sugar – it’s everywhere and really hard to avoid. I signed up for this campaign online, it gave me some options that allowed me to breathe a little:
The Plastic Free July campaign website also has resources and ideas on how to conquer the challenge, as well as a quiz (once you sign up) to understand your current use of plastics.
