Every July, people around the world unite to tackle one of our planet's biggest challenges: plastic pollution. Plastic Free July is your opportunity - whether as an individual, family, or business - to actively reduce single-use plastics and create lasting change. But why does this matter, and how can you join in?
What exactly is Plastic Free July?
Launched in 2011, Plastic Free July has become a global movement, raising awareness about plastic pollution and promoting practical solutions. Its mission is to inspire us all to rethink our daily habits and find great alternatives to single-use plastics.
Here at Sea Change, we’re passionate about fighting plastic pollution. Millions of tons of plastic waste make their way into our ocean each year, devastating marine life and ecosystems. We're committed to making a difference - that’s why we’ve eliminated the unnecessary plastic wrap around the cork of our bottles, we don’t have foils on our sparkling wines, we use natural corks, and we’ve minimised our packaging to reduce waste and environmental impact.
How you can get involved
Change doesn't need to happen all at once; it starts with small, achievable steps! Begin by identifying the single use plastic items you use most often and swap them out for sustainable alternatives. Try reusable shopping bags instead of plastic ones, metal or bamboo straws rather than disposable ones, and keep metal or reusable bottles handy to reduce plastic bottle waste. Making incremental changes makes it easy to sustain long-term, meaningful habits.
Take time this July to educate yourself about different types of plastics and their environmental impact. Understanding the problem empowers you to become part of the solution.
Together for a sustainable future
Remember, Plastic Free July isn’t just about one month: It’s about initiating permanent change. Every small action taken today leads to a healthier ocean, happier wildlife, and a cleaner planet tomorrow.
So, this July, commit to reducing plastic and inspire others to do the same. Join us as we venture towards a sustainable, plastic-free future, one day - and one glass of wine - at a time.
