Highlighting the essence of “Plastic Free July,” the update said that it is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution. “Events and workshops are popular ways to bring the community together, create a shared purpose and connect people with solutions to avoiding plastic waste,” it said.
“Let us start the plastic-free journey from the inside out, turning a waste problem into a reusable solution. Start small by looking at the simple changes we can make to our everyday habits.

As we go along the sustainable journey let us find solution and life hacks that suits us,” the update further read. This is the second time that the YWCA is observing Plastic Free July.
