Plastic Free July

Finished
80 participants
Inspired by the Plastic Free Foundation’s initiative, this month’s Handprinter Campaign encourages mindful choices around single-use plastics. Reducing plastic consumption isn't easy. Instead of feeling hopeless, we can step up to the challenge! We know you can't do everything so, choose at least 3 categories where you commit to eliminating single-use plastics for the entire month of July.
