Sustainable Summer

Plastic pollution doesn’t take a vacation – but we can change the tide.

Be the change this summer!

Plastic pollution doesn’t take a vacation – but we can change the tide.

Whether you’re brand new to zero-waste living or already a plastic-free pro, Sustainable Summer is your chance to Break Up with Plastic and take meaningful action with a community that cares.

The Sustainable Summer Campaign is Designed to Help You Grow Your Sustainable Habits

From July 1st to August 31st, Plastic Ocean Project is hosting a challenge again this year, to reduce single-use plastics, form even more sustainable habits, and subsequently protect our oceans. 

From creating partnerships with like-minded, sustainable businesses to influencing lifestyle changes in our community, this initiative brings awareness to our shared mission to reduce plastic pollution in our environment, and creates real and often measurable change. 

Thank you to our Sustainable Summer Sponsors!
