In recent years, global awareness of plastic pollution has surged, leading to initiatives like Plastic Free July, which encourages individuals to reconsider their plastic consumption. This July, to strengthen the message of sustainability, we are thrilled to announce the Plastic Free July Giant Giveaway, a collaboration between six pioneering eco-conscious brands: ecojiko, SNOAP, Lavender & Lemon, It's Our Planet Too, Know the Origin, and Holy Lama Naturals. Each of these brands is also part of the Buy Women Built network, showcasing the power and innovation of women-led enterprises driving positive environmental change.
Understanding Plastic Free July
Plastic Free July is a global movement empowering individuals to be part of the solution to plastic pollution. Participants are challenged to refuse single-use plastics for the entire month, fostering long-term habits that lead to a cleaner and healthier planet. By promoting alternatives to plastic products, Plastic Free July aims to reduce the staggering amount of plastic waste that ends up in our oceans, landfills, and natural environments.
