World’s first One Plastic Free Day falls on June 5

“Plastic pollution is a massive and at the same time intensely personal environmental problem. We touch and see plastic every day of our lives. With every trip to the grocery store, we can readily see our waste footprint grow. On the bright side, all of us can do something immediate and measurable to reduce it.” – David de Rothschild

Millions across the globe look forward to saying no to plastic pollution as part of the world’s first One Plastic Free Day on June 5 this year.

The One Plastic Free Day is organized by the International Campaign Group “A Plastic Planet” with an aim to inspire the world to avoid plastic-packaged goods for 24 hours.
