Narberth Civic Association is joining the challenge for the second year! Will YOU join us?!

The challenge is quite simple…choose to refuse single-use plastic for the month of July. Started in Western Australia in 2011, Plastic Free July aims to raise awareness of the problems with single-use disposable plastic and challenges people to do something about it. We’re joining millions of people from 170 countries world-wide in making a difference.

8 out of 10 of us are concerned about plastic
ending up in landfills and polluting the oceans …

Choose to be part of the solution! You can act by:
*Avoiding products in plastic packaging (choose alternatives)
*Reducing where possible (opt for refills, remember your reusable shopping bags)
*Refusing plastics that escape as litter (e.g. straws, takeaway cups, utensils, balloons)
*Recycling what cannot be avoided
