Plastic Free July

Every small step we take to avoid single-use plastic can make a big difference towards: 

  • Protecting the ocean 
  • Reducing consumption and production
  • Avoiding landfill waste 
  • Connecting communities for a world without plastic waste

As an official Council Member of Plastic Free July, we are actively supporting our community to choose to refuse single-use plastic directly, and pledging to make a difference by eliminating single-use plastic from our offices and events.
