Going completely plastic-free might sound impossible in 2019, but #plasticfreejuly is about trying to - for just 31 days - and then continuing those habits year-round. Easing into a plastic-free life can be a smooth transition too, and the smallest of every items can have the biggest of impacts.

Disposable pads are made with up to 90% plastic and they can take upwards of 400 years to decompose if they ever do at all.
