<p>Ocean Life Education is encouraging local households, businesses and schools to accept the Plastic Free July Challenge. The challenge is quiet simple: attempt to consume no single-use plastic during July.</p>
<p>Single-use plastic is anything that is intended to be used once then thrown away. If all single-use plastic sounds a bit daunting, just try the “big four” single-use plastic items are plastic bags, plastic cups, plastic straws and plastic containers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Single use plastic is one of the most concerning issues facing our oceans and its inhabitants and it won&#8217;t go away by itself. Join us in reducing and ridding single use plastic from our every day use to protect the future of our ocean animals &#8211; and us.&#8221;</p>

<h2>Will you accept the challenge?</h2>
<p>Plastic free July is a fun challenge that gets us thinking about the amount of plastic packaging in our lives.</p>

<li>You’re not alone! Join the PFJ network and join us at events, workshops and online discussion forums.</li>
</ul>
<h4>The Challenge</h4>
<ul>
<li>Attempt to consume no single-use plastic during July.</li>
<li>Collect any plastic packaging you do buy. Keep it in a ‘dilemma bag’.</li>
</ul>
