Plastic Free July

We invite you to participate in Plastic-Free July by undertaking the following actions:

1. Take the Plastic-Free July Challenge: Sign up at Plastic-Free July Challenge. You will receive weekly emails with practical tips and resources to help you reduce plastic usage. Please share with us any activities your office may be doing so we can promote these.

2. Promote Awareness: Utilise your platforms to disseminate information shared from SPREP social media pages about Plastic-Free July. Share campaign details on social media, websites, and newsletters to educate the public on the importance of reducing plastic usage.

3. Organise Events: Arrange local events, workshops, and discussions to engage communities in plastic-free activities. These could include beach clean-ups, plastic-free challenges, and educational seminars. Share these with us so we can promote them.

4. Collaborate with Partners: Partner with local governments, businesses, and NGOs to enhance the campaign's reach. Encourage these stakeholders to adopt and promote plastic-free policies and practices.

5. Provide Resources: Distribute educational materials, tips, and guides on living plastic-free. A variety of resources are available at Plastic-Free July website.

6. Lead by Example: Implement plastic-free policies within your offices and motivate your teams to participate in the campaign. Share your initiatives and successes to inspire others. Should you wish to adapt the practical guidelines SPREP uses for its communications areas, please let us know and we will send you a word version for you to adapt.
