🌍💪 Plastic Free July is HERE! 💪🌍
Let’s turn this into a fun challenge with BIG impact 🙌
Because the truth is: plastic pollution is a problem — from the moment it’s extracted, produced, used (often just once!), and then tossed into landfills or oceans 😣
But here’s the good news 👉 WE have the power to change that.
💡 This July, let’s challenge ourselves to reduce our plastic use — one bottle, one bag, one swap at a time. Whether you’re a seasoned zero-waster or just starting out, every small step matters. And doing it together makes it WAY more fun 🎉it’s to #breakupwithplastic
🛒 Reusable bags
☕ BYO coffee cup
🍽️ Say no to single-use cutlery
💧 Ditch bottled water
♻️ Share your swaps & tag us!
Let’s prove that small changes really do lead to massive impact 🌱

🌍 8 Lazy Climate Actions That Actually Make a Difference 💚
Think fighting climate change takes too much effort? Think again. These low-effort, high-impact habits help the planet—no stress required:
1. 💤 Unplug devices when not in use (your charger too!).
2. 🚿 Shorten your shower by just 2 minutes.
3. ❌ Say no to fast fashion—re-wear, swap, or thrift instead.
4. 🍽️ Eat one plant-based meal a day.
5. 🛒 Buy in bulk to reduce packaging waste.
6. 📬 Opt out of junk mail (save trees and time).
7. 🔁 Use a reusable water bottle (bonus: saves $$).
8. 📱 Use your voice—share, post, vote, and support climate causes from your couch.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. A little lazy can still be legendary. The bonus is that even lazy efforts can save you money.
