in #zerowaste6 years ago

Hi pumpkin sprouts out there !I hope you all doing fine in there and i would like to share some thoughts and tips for those of you who are going to take a part in this year plastic free july! If you don’t have any idea what i’m talking about it’s okej ! Here it’s the webside: http://www.plasticfreejuly.org/

Basically it’s a challenge to try produce less plastic in July !
So story time :
We did took a challenge last year and it did change our life in a lot of ways and the way how we think now . I got few tips for you so you will not feel overwhelmed with so many information .

Take it slow a little at the time ! You don’t need to change everything in one month .
It’s okej if you can’t afford buying in bulk there is different options ! Next post will be exactly about that !
No you don’t need to throw away your plastic containers . You can continue reusing them !
To make it easier on you just change 1 or 2 things a week ! Let say you are buying a take away caffe so week n.1 you will get caffe in your reusable caffe cup .
Remember the challenge is to make us more aware of how much trash we make and how we can be better and change that .

Make it fun !

We love our clothes diapers, second hand shopping , buying groceries in own produce bags and make own products.

I hope you enjoyed this post !

Have a great summer evening!
