Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people come together to be part of the solution to end plastic pollution. By being part of the campaign to end plastic pollution we can all have cleaner streets, oceans and communities. The idea of the campaign is to avoid single-use items where possible.
Approximately 40% of the plastic waste is made up of single-use plastic items. And almost 9 million tons of plastic waste ends up in the World’s oceans which endangers wildlife, pollutes the water, and puts human health at risk.
Plastic Free July is a key initiative of the Plastic Free Foundation. The foundation an independent, not-for-profit organisation, was established in 2017. In July 2018, 120 million people across the globe took part in the Plastic Free July challenge across 177 countries.

Internships can vary in length, ranging from a few weeks to several months, and typically involve tasks and responsibilities relevant to the industry or profession.
