Plastic free July is not new.  It's more than 10 years old and started in Australia.

From the voicesofearth.org website:

"Plastic leads to destroying the marine life and polluting the earth. Millions of tons of plastic are in the environment as waste, especially in the oceans and seas. ... More than 80% of marine litter is plastic which kills up to 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine creatures each year by ingesting it."
