You might have heard that July is "Plastic-Free July". Hey! No pressure!
At It’s Organic Darling, we believe that Plastic-Free July is just the beginning of your journey to reduce plastic waste.
Being plastic-free in July isn’t a target. It’s just an excellent opportunity to start thinking about how we all can make little changes that help to reduce the amount of plastic we have in our homes.
The little things we do to reduce our plastic waste adds up.
