into eco-friendly living, you know what that means&#8230; it&#8217;s time for Plastic Free July! To celebrate, I thought I&#8217;d round up a few simple swaps. </p> <p><strong>Plastic Free July started in Australia in 2011. The goal of a no plastic July is to avoid disposable products, specifically single use plastics, for the entire month. I&#8217;m sharing my favorite Plastic Free July ideas as well as my best tips for Plastic Free July. Many find that with these swaps, going plastic free for one month turns into long term reduced plastic usage — which has a huge impact on the planet! </strong></p> <figure class="wp-block-image

challenge. You can pick one disposable to avoid like single-use plastic straws, or you can try and avoid the <a href="https://goingzerowaste.com/blog/plastic-free-july/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">big four</a> which are grocery bags, plastic straws, to-go coffee cups, and plastic water bottles. Of course, you can go all in and avoid ALL single-use plastics for the ENTIRE month of July if you want a real challenge.</strong></p> <p>Since it’s only a month long commitment, you can get your toes wet and see if it’s something you’d want to pursue long term.&nbsp;</p> <p>In fact, many &#8216;full-time&#8217; zero wasters started by participating in Plastic Free July! The lifestyle made so much sense that they decided to keep at it! </p> <p>Once you start reducing your trash and exposure to single-use plastics, you might discover it&#8217;s easier than you expect! </p> <div class="content_hint"></div> <p>I was hooked because it improved my overall health and well being, my skin, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://goingzerowaste.com/sustainable-finance/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal">helped me save money</a>, and more! </p> <p>This post starts out with a few easy swaps like water bottles and toothbrushes, but evolves into some swaps you might not have heard about!

into eco-friendly living, you know what that means&#8230; it&#8217;s time for Plastic Free July! To celebrate, I thought I&#8217;d round up a few simple swaps. </p> <p><strong>Plastic Free July started in Australia in 2011. The goal of a no plastic July is to avoid disposable products, specifically single use plastics, for the entire month. I&#8217;m sharing my favorite Plastic Free July ideas as well as my best tips for Plastic Free July. Many find that with these swaps, going plastic free for one month turns into long term reduced plastic usage — which has a huge impact on the planet! </strong></p> <figure class="wp-block-image

challenge. You can pick one disposable to avoid like single-use plastic straws, or you can try and avoid the <a href="https://goingzerowaste.com/blog/plastic-free-july/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">big four</a> which are grocery bags, plastic straws, to-go coffee cups, and plastic water bottles. Of course, you can go all in and avoid ALL single-use plastics for the ENTIRE month of July if you want a real challenge.</strong></p> <p>Since it’s only a month long commitment, you can get your toes wet and see if it’s something you’d want to pursue long term.&nbsp;</p> <p>In fact, many &#8216;full-time&#8217; zero wasters started by participating in Plastic Free July! The lifestyle made so much sense that they decided to keep at it! </p> <p>Once you start reducing your trash and exposure to single-use plastics, you might discover it&#8217;s easier than you expect! </p> <div class="content_hint"></div> <p>I was hooked because it improved my overall health and well being, my skin, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://goingzerowaste.com/sustainable-finance/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal">helped me save money</a>, and more! </p> <p>This post starts out with a few easy swaps like water bottles and toothbrushes, but evolves into some swaps you might not have heard about!

Basically, when they learned about my eco-friendly lifestyle, they thought I was a bit strange. Then, I gifted them a simple swap like any of the suggestions above, and they realized these &#8216;eco-friendly&#8217; swaps were AWESOME. </p> <p>Some of the swaps saved them money, some saved them time, and some were just fun! The bottom line is that they were hooked! </p> <p>So, why not gift a friend or family member a small reusable item so they can tackle Plastic Free July with you?</p> <div class="content_hint"></div> <p>Instead of wrapping these gifts in traditional wrapping paper, which is made from plastic, why not opt for a BEAUTIFUL organic cotton, no-waste alternative to wrapping paper that you&#8217;ll want to reuse, frame, or display forever.</p> <p><a href="https://wrappr.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow external" data-wpel-link="external">Wrappr</a> is a woman owned company based in Toronto, Canada that specializes in gorgeous reusable, &#8216;wrapping paper&#8217; that can be used over and over again.</p> <p>Their goal is to eliminate waste and single-use plastics, and to support artists.

By doing a <a href="https://www.goingzerowaste.com/blog/how-to-conduct-a-waste-audit-day-31-of-the-zero-waste-challenge/" data-wpel-link="internal">trash audit</a> (or even just some honest thought with yourself), you can see where you produce the most trash. For instance, if you clean exclusively with disposable paper towels, a great place to start is swapping to reusable cloths/towels. </p> <p>If you know you get a disposable coffee cup every day and order takeout with a plastic container and fork, swap those out for glass Snapware and making your own coffee. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-many-people-participate-in-no-plastic-july"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="how_many_people_participate_in_no_plastic_july"></span>how many people participate in no plastic july?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3> <p>Not enough, but it&#8217;s getting better every year! According to this <a href="https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/PFJ-Impact-Report-2021-screen.pdf" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">impact report</a>, about 29% of global consumers (read: about 313 million people) were aware of the concept of a no plastic July, and 13% (about 140 million people) participated in 2021. </p> <p>According to the same study, participation has reduced global demand of 2.3% of all bottled water. That alone is insane, but it also reduced 3.1% of fruit and vegetable packaging, and 4% of all plastic straws. Imagine the impact if we all used these Plastic Free July ideas! Imagine if we implemented even half these tips for the rest of the year as well. We could change the landscape of disposable goods for the better. </p> <div class="content_hint"></div> <div class="crp_related crp-rounded-thumbs"><h3>Related Posts</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.goingzerowaste.com/blog/8-free-zero-waste-swaps-that-dont-cost-any-money/" class="crp_link post-3425" data-wpel-link="internal"><figure><img width="240" height="360" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20240%20360'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="crp_thumb crp_featured" alt="8 FREE Zero Waste Swaps" title="8 FREE Zero Waste Swaps" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.goingzerowaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/img_5e7548b60a19b-240x360.jpg 240w, https://www.goingzerowaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/img_5e7548b60a19b-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.goingzerowaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/img_5e7548b60a19b-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://www.goingzerowaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/img_5e7548b60a19b-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.goingzerowaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/img_5e7548b60a19b-150x225.jpg 150w, https://www.goingzerowaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/img_5e7548b60a19b.jpg 791w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" data-lazy-srcset="https |
