July is Plastic-Free Month

Local blogger and nature enthusiast Cliona Kelliher has written a recent piece on ways of cutting down on plastics in daily home life, writes Brian Byrne.

It's not that she expects her actions will change the world in terms of the current contamination and damage to wildlife and nature of plastic and micro-plastics. But given that July is designated Plastic-Free Month (you didn't know, did you? Neither did I) looking at the 'easy changes' might be worth while.

Her piece looks at some options she's trying. Like beeswax wraps for food, bamboo replacements for everyday products such as toothbrushes and cotton buds, solid bar shampoos and conditioners, and more.
