It’s Plastic Free July and I am so excited because I’m constantly looking for ways to eliminate or reduce plastic waste and I’m using this month to challenge myself even more! Did you know that 91% of our plastic goes into the trash? And that it takes 400 years for plastic to degrade?

So it’s even more important to eliminate or reduce the use of plastic in our lives. Read on for easy ways to reduce plastic use around your house.
