Make July Plastic Free 🤩   This month is dedicated to being plastic free. The Plastic Free Foundation is encouraging people all over the world to be part of an ongoing movement to decrease their use of plastic wherever they can.   Their initiative has already encouraged 100+ million participants across 190 countries since they started in 2011 and their website provides lots of helpful advice about where to start within your workplace or home. The Foundation has reported that over the last five years, participants plastic-free changes have meant saving the equivalent of over 1.5 million tons of plastic waste.   The Foundation advises contributing in small ways first as small changes are likely to stick as daily habits and make a difference long term. The website encourages listing out all your plastic use and selecting one or two areas where an environmentally friendly substitute could easily work.   We’re already thinking of ways we can be plastic free at the office and at home. Imagine the added impact we can collectively all make to this vital campaign. https://lnkd.in/ft9NQiN   #plasticfreemonth #plasticfreejuly2024 #plasticfreefoundation #reduceplastic #saynotoplastic #sustainableliving #gogreen #plasticfreeworld #zerowastemovement #ConsumeLessPlastic

Happy Plastic Free July! Plastic Free July is a global movement dedicated to turning the tide on plastic waste, one choice at a time. Public concern for plastic pollution is high, and this movement empowers individuals to make a difference by refusing single-use plastics in their daily lives. Since 2011, millions have taken the challenge to go plastic free in July, proving that collective action creates long-term behavior change. In 2021 alone, participants reduced landfill waste by 1.2 billion kg and plastic consumption by 0.3 million tons. What started with 40 individuals has now mobilized millions globally. Today, let's commit to reducing our plastic use, spreading awareness, and supporting policies to end plastic pollution. Every effort counts. Together, we can create a sustainable future. 🌱♻️ Be part of the challenge here: https://lnkd.in/ergYNRKq #PlasticFreeJuly #Sustainability #ZeroWaste #EndPlasticPollution

Take the challenge and go Plastic Free in July  Want to challenge yourself and go Plastic Free? Join the millions of people choosing to say no to single-use plastic and take part in the Plastic Free July challenge.  Start with your morning coffee! Did you know Australians use an estimated 1.8 billion disposable coffee cups each year? Most of these end up in landfill. Single-use coffee cups have a plastic liner, so they can’t go in recycling bins. Even those labelled ‘compostable’ can’t go in our food and garden bins.  Will you make the simple switch? Together we can make a difference and be a part of the solution to reduce plastic waste.  Take the challenge!

Plastic-free July may be over, but the principles carry over to August (and the rest of the year!) At the heart of the Plastic Free July movement is the idea that small changes in plastic usage can add up to make a significant difference. That notion is at the core of Polycarbin’s #evidencebasedsustainability approach. The enormity of the climate change crisis and plastic pollution problem can feel overwhelming, so much so that it can be challenging to begin taking meaningful actions ourselves. But the opportunity to reduce plastic waste is in your hands - literally. The tubes, tips, and other plastic consumables that are used at the bench daily can actually work to create a less polluted environment when they are managed via a circular economy approach. Small changes to plastic management in the lab -> major carbon reductions. Efforts to reduce plastic usage don’t need to be isolated to a single month of the year. Being more thoughtful about plastics - whether that means using a reusable water bottle or choosing circular recycling programs for your lab - is a critical step toward greater carbon emission reductions globally. #PlasticFreeJuly #CircularEconomy #CarbonFootprint https://lnkd.in/eJXJnZ3n
