Plastic Free July began as a small Australian idea back in 2011 and has since grown into a community‑driven movement that encourages people to cut down on single‑use plastics in simple, everyday ways. Each July, households, schools and workplaces take on the challenge, using it as a chance to rethink habits, share tips and support one another in making more sustainable choices.
