Plastic Free July (2019)

Linda · August 6, 2019 ·

I can’t believe it’s been three years since we undertook the #plasticfreejuly challenge.  2016 was our first and really terrifying effort and obviously frightened any further efforts until this year, when it became the ideal opportunity to reboot our New Years efforts to focus on reducing and eliminating our waste.

It is really interesting reading back on 2016 and thinking WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY! It just goes to show how useful it is to journal.

I wrote an article about our plastic free July for the Evening Echo this year and it outlines our journey and the challenges presented by making change, the brain-bandwidth overload of finding new solutions and learning new habits, getting bored of not being able to buy everything on the shop shelves, refocusing and finally seeing our efforts come together and get a little easier.

We’re a six person household zeroing in on our choices to try and live more sustainably.  We’ve started with efforts to minimise our waste.

As we reduce plastic and packaging in the weekly shop, we make a lot more food, like yoghurt, from scratch, and so every little bit gets used up.

Along the way, a lot of new food habits and recipes are tried and tested, the ones that stick are shared here.

Meet the family, read the why.
