Plastic-free July calls on every individual to re-evaluate the plastic in their life. We are not against plastic, we are against Single-Use plastic. Plastic is great material that is lightweight, water resistant and cheap! It is also long-lasting and should be that purpose. Plastic chairs, buckets, composters, components that are re-usable several times are excellent. The disposable plastics, however, are used for a few seconds and they last forever in landfills. Here are a few ways you can replace the single-use disposable plastics from your life.
