Make the Switch…

Try to switch out one or more plastic based items from your home or office during Plastic Free July!

• Purchase and use reusable produce bags instead of the single-use bags offered at grocery stores
• Bring a reusable water bottle with you to refill instead of buying single-use water bottles
• Replace liquid soap with bar soap
• Look for a refillable company for your cleaning products such as Blueland
• Try out an eco-friendly pod laundry or dish detergent like Dropps
• Look for laundry SHEETS instead of bottled laundry detergent
• Incorporate reusable containers and storage bags into your lunch packing supplies
• Bring your own containers to the restaurant to take home your leftovers
• Say “No" to single-use straws and utensils for takeout 
• Switch out plastic wrap for a cloth or beeswax wrap
• Join the official “Plastic Free July Challenge" here.
