Plastic Free July 2019
SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDE
Throughout July, people around the world are taking action to demonstrate a life free from unnecessary plastic is not only vital; it is entirely possible. Together, we will #BreakFreeFromPlastic and let our communities, cities, and countries know that we refuse single-use plastic!
This is only the beginning. Plastic Free July is not simply about changing our individual behavior in one month, but rather, pushing for systems change to hold corporations and our government leaders accountable.
Check out our social media toolkit below for posts/tweets, images and actions to share throughout the month.
Note: Our efforts are not affiliated with Plastic Free July Australia. We encourage using the #BreakFreeFromPlastic hashtag to avoid any confusion.
