OK, neighbors, Plastic Free July is here! Show off what you’ve been doing all year to avoid plastic — like remembering to take reusable tote bags when you shop at stores and to Farmers Markets. (And don’t bring just one!) Like grabbing those empty clamshell containers for blueberries, strawberries and the like. Like refusing vendors’ offers of non-compostable plastic for their food. And like remembering your own take-home container for left-over restaurant food. Or, if you forgot it, asking that your food be wrapped up in tin foil. And turn down those straws if you can still drink from a cup!

Show off your plastic-free habits. You can do this!

And watch here for more tips during Plastic Free July.

Go Plastic Free!
