Plastic Free July is a global initiative to help reduce the amount of plastic we encounter on a daily basis. Join millions worldwide in the Plastic Free July Challenge to reduce demand for single-use plastics, create sustainable habits, and protect our environment.
Embrace Reusables: Invest in high-quality reusable shopping bags, produce bags, water bottles and food containers.
Eliminate Single-Use Plastics: Choose items without excessive packaging. Refuse plastic straws. Buy products packed in glass, paper or recyclable plastics. Use Mill Valley Refuse’s “What Goes Where“ tool find out which plastics can be recycled (now including clam-shell containers) and which go to landfill.
Shop Smartly: Buy in bulk. Support local farmers’ markets where produce is often sold without packaging.
