July is the month 🗓

to #breakfreefromplastic! This month we're challenging ourselves to use less plastic ♳. Karen’s goals are to use glass jars for bulk purchases, to bring her own reusable produce bags and coffee mug while out shopping, and to pack lunch in a metal food container. Stephanie will try to bring her own bags to the farmers market and only use her refillable water bottle. How will you limit plastic usage?

Week 2’s #BHchallenge coming at ya’.

This week the challenge is to pack a plastic-free lunch. Packing a plastic-free lunch is healthier, even if it’s some leftover cheesy pizza, cause you are avoiding all sorts of extra packaging materials that can leave yucky chemicals in your food. Plus, those piles of plastic takeout containers overflowing out of the recycling bin everyday after lunch are kind of sad, right? Don’t forget to tag your photos with @because_health and #BHchallenge.

Besides being bad for your health, plastic pollutes our oceans, and plastic demand = fossil fuel production = climate change.

We say that's more than enough reasons to bring and use a glass or stainless steel water bottle everywhere you go. And if photos like this really bug you, check out our friends @surfrider to find a beach cleanup near you. 🌊 📸 @mo_9o .

Have one of these laying around and not sure what to do with it?

Leave your (empty! ) reusable plastic water bottle in your car as a backup bottle. If you are running errands and get thirsty, filling up the reusable plastic bottle is still way better than buying a bottled water at a corner store. Click on the link in bio to read more tips on how to safely use the plastic water bottles you already own. 👋Don't forget to post photos of your reusable water bottle and tag @becausehealth and #BHchallenge. We're reposting in our stories and will pick a winner at the end of the month for a prize.

Today marks the start of the #BHchallenge.

We’re starting off simple. Bring and use your reusable glass or stainless steel water bottle. Let’s ditch the plastic and make sure that your water is as healthy as can be for you and the planet. Plastic water bottles can leach unwanted chemicals into the water inside and yeah, we’ve seen enough depressing videos about single-use bottles polluting our oceans, so let's do this! We know it's hard to remember sometimes, so this is your extra motivation. Show us where you are taking or refilling your water bottles this week and remember to tag @because_health and #BHchallenge .
