🌊🌍 Plastic Free July! 🌍🌊
This Plastic Free July, let’s make a difference for our oceans and communities. Did you know that an estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic (including ) accumulates in the global ocean each year? is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution, for cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. 🌱✨
Plastic Pollution in Numbers:
