Subject: Let's take action this Plastic Free July!


Happy Plastic Free July! This month, we're calling on the corporations responsible for plastic pollution to ditch their greenwashing and go for real solutions—and we'd love for you to join us.


You can do this by learning more about the role of corporations in creating the problem, calling out the top plastic polluters in your locale, or raising awareness and providing alternatives to plastic on campus:


If you’d like to do a deep dive into the issue

Host a documentary screening! Choose from our collection of films, depending on the issue you’d like to focus on. Then hold a discussion after, whether with a panel of experts or even just among your audience members.

If you’d like to confront polluters head-on

Do a brand audit to identify the top polluters in your area, then tag them on social media! Alternatively, you can host a Plastic Take-Back on July 23 to show your chain supermarket you want them to skip the plastic.

If you’d like to make an impact on campus

Are you ready to start your plastic-free campus journey? Check out our manuals for administrators or students for a step-by-step guide to drafting your awareness campaign and starting your school’s shift away from single-use plastic.


Lastly, BFFP members have various activities lined up this month! Stay tuned

for updates on these in the BFFP newsletter, social media channels, and member portal.


And remember, you don’t have to do this alone. Just email skye@breakfreefromplastic.org if you have any questions about these activities or if you’d like to request support in organizing your activity or connecting with others.


In solidarity,

The BFFP team
