Haven't used plastic bag bin liners or plastic wrap for since the first Plastic free July 🙂

At the marine research station on the island, run by the Uni of Qld, they research and treat turtles affected by a floating syndrome caused by the ingestion of plastics. This article talks about the impact of plastics on turtles. It's just so sad.

We have a way to go in terms of further reducing our use of plastics but we have made quite a bit of progress over the last two years. Plastic-free July is a great way to focus on the problem of plastics in our environment.

Huge amounts of rubbish are washed down gutters, into water channels and out to sea every time we get heavy rain.

I believe it comes from ships out at sea, dumping overboard. Disgusting.

I received 2 bee wax wraps from "Mighty Nest" last month and will use these to wrap my lunch instead of cling film. I already take everything else in reusable containers. I love the idea of taking your own reusable containers to fill up with bulk items. It really is a mindset and a chance to re educate yourself in your choices, isn't. Have a great day
