Plastic Free July 2020

So it's almost July again, which brings Plastic Free July. This is a yearly movement to encourage people to make simple changes within their lives to help reduce waste. I followed this last year on my social media, posting an image each day of the chosen swaps.

This year, I'm going to go through swaps which I have already made, which is listed below. Amazingly it's worked out to be 31, which is the perfect amount for July. I have also created a list of swaps I still wish to make. This list is nowhere near as long, but I still live with family, and struggle to incorporate these in our household. When I finally buy my own house, I will 100% be making those changes!
