It's Plastic Free July - Join the challenge!
Over the last 10 years, 326M people have joined the Plastic Free July®, global movement and have helped to reduce plastic waste by almost 900M kg.
What can you do? Start by refusing to use the "top four": coffee cups, plastic bags straws and water bottles. Create a "Reusable" kit and carry it with you... Like Lucie did in this story.
How can you do this?
Find your favorite reusable coffee cup... buy a reusable straw... invest in a great water bottle... throw in a reusable container or two for any leftovers you may pick up along the way... and toss them all in a reusable tote bag and carry with you (maybe stash a couple of extras in there for when you make purchases!)
Fun Facts!
Don't forget to save 10% on your U-konserve stainless containers with silicone lids (all over safe!) by clicking here and using code DISHMEALS!
