Plastic pollution now contaminates the deepest trenches in the ocean, high mountain peaks, and even the air we breathe – plus recently being found in our blood. Plastic has entered the food chain, killing wildlife, and causing the average person to eat one credit card’s worth of plastic each week. To learn more about this issue & take action to affect change, join the online Plastic Free EcoChallenge in July. You select the challenges you’d like to accomplish during the month and when/how you do them.  You can join as an individual, create your own team, or join an existing team. You are invited to consider joining one of the two teams listed below.
