Repost from @plasticpollutes. We love this challenge for today and EVERYDAY. All it takes is a little effort & planning for us to all do our part to reduce plastic waste! Join us in participating in #plasticfreejuly! • Pick a plastic-free habit this 4th of July:⁠ ⁠ 🍽️ Choose reusables! Cups, plates, bowls, cutlery, straws--you name it--there are excellent reusable options out there.⁠ ⁠ 👩‍🍳 Make your own meals instead of buying plastic-wrapped prepared foods at the grocery store⁠.⁠ ⁠ 🍊 If you do need to get food at the market, be sure to #SHOPNAKED, aka only purchase foods that are not wrapped in plastic packaging⁠.⁠ ⁠ ❌ Skip balloons and other unnecessary single-use decorations--get creative and design your own out of materials you already have⁠ ⁠ What are your favorite tips and tricks for a plastic-free 4th of July celebration?⁠ Let us know in the comments.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Incredible artwork by @meredithphoto⁠ ⁠ #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticFree4th #PlasticFreeFourth #PlasticFreeFourthOfJuly #PlasticFree4thofJuly #PlasticPollution #UseRealStuff #ChooseReusables #ChooseToReuse #Reusables #RefuseSingleUse #RefuseSingleUsePlastic #RefusePlastic #PlasticFree #PlasticFreeLiving #LivePlasticFree #SayNoToPlastic #IndependenceDay #Plastics #Refuse #Reuse #ZeroWaste #ReclaimRefill
