The Giant Plastic Free July Giveaway

In recent years, global awareness of plastic pollution has surged, and as we navigate this crucial period of change, initiatives like Plastic Free July encourage us all to rethink our plastic consumption. This July, in a collective effort to amplify the message of sustainability, I'm excited to announce the Plastic Free July Giant Giveaway! This is a special collaboration between six eco-conscious brands: ecojiko, SNOAP, Lavender & Lemon, It's Our Planet Too, Know the Origin, and Holy Lama Naturals. Each of these brands proudly belongs to the Buy Women Built network, showcasing the incredible power and innovation of women-led enterprises driving positive environmental change.

Understanding Plastic Free July

Plastic Free July is a global movement that empowers individuals to be part of the solution to plastic pollution. This initiative challenges participants to refuse single-use plastics for the entire month of July, encouraging long-term habits that lead to a cleaner and healthier planet. By promoting alternatives to plastic products, Plastic Free July aims to reduce the staggering amount of plastic waste that ends up in our oceans, landfills, and natural environments.

The Importance of Plastic Free July

1. Raising Awareness

Plastic Free July is a crucial platform for raising awareness about the universal issue of plastic pollution. By engaging people worldwide, the movement highlights the urgent need to address our reliance on single-use plastics and the devastating effects they have on ecosystems, wildlife, and our oceans.

2. Encouraging Sustainable Habits

The challenge encourages individuals to adopt sustainable habits that extend beyond the month of July. Participants often find that the changes they make during this period, such as using reusable bags, bottles, reusable coffee cups, metal straws, and food containers, become permanent fixtures in their lives. This shift in behavior is essential for creating a long-lasting impact on the environment.

3. Fostering Community and Collaboration

Plastic Free July brings together a diverse community of individuals, organizations, and businesses united by a common goal. This sense of community fosters collaboration and innovation, leading to the development of new and creative solutions to reduce plastic waste.
