Plastic Free July is a great time to be aware and challenge your use of plastic.  The top four kinds of plastic to avoid are plastic bags, water bottles, straws and coffee cups.  If everyone in the mid-coast gave up these four items are beautiful beaches would be so much cleaner and our oceans healthier.  Yesterday walking the beach with Tuffy I collected 2 single use coffee cups, a “Congratulations” balloon and assorted bits of plastic crap that had broken into smaller pieces.  The saddest thing was two folks sat at the beach enjoying a yummy morning coffee and thought nothing of leaving their trash behind. 

Take the pledge to give up some plastic this July-  http://www.plasticfreejuly.org/
