Background: Plastic-Free July was launched in Australia in 2011 as an awareness-raising and attitude-changing initiative to encourage people to use as little disposable plastic as possible. It has grown so much that last year more than 100 million people from 190 countries around the world took up the challenge. By rejecting single-use plastic products and being more resourceful and less wasteful, participants have reduced their plastic consumption by an astonishing 300 million kg!

Its multifaceted approach offered a rich program of activities for students outside the school walls as well.
