Plastic Free July: Will you accept the challenge?

We are encouraging local households, businesses and schools to accept the Plastic Free July Challenge. The challenge is simple: attempt to consume no single-use plastic during July. Single-use plastic is anything that is intended to be used once then thrown away. If all single-use plastic sounds a bit daunting, just try the “big four” single-use plastic items: Plastic Bags, Plastic Cups, Plastic Straws and Plastic Containers. During Plastic Free July, you can also support this petition to phase out plastic bags in New Zealand: http://www.tinyurl.com/banbagsnz ------------------------------------------- Support us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/marinereserves -------------------------------------------
