PLASTIC-free shopping is on the rise as the topic of climate change becomes more important than ever.
Plastic-Free July is a global initiative by the Plastic-Free Foundation to help solve plastic pollution and encourage people to refuse single-use plastic.
The campaign is now in its tenth year but founder Rebecca Prince-Ruiz did not expect its success.
Rebecca said: “In 2011 when I first tried to avoid single-use plastic for a month, I never imagined how Plastic-Free July would grow.
“It’s amazing to reflect on the rapid worldwide uptake of the challenge, with people making positive changes in their own lives and in their communities, schools, and workplaces.
