Plastic Free July
Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people “be the solution to plastic pollution”. The movement, begun by one woman in Australia in 2011, has since reached over 100 million participants in 190 countries. Take the challenge.
The Community Environmental Council (CEC) and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper have successfully advocated for eight regional laws reducing distribution of single use plastic items. Both groups also mentor students doing plastic reduction projects and continue to advocate for local regulations.
