11th July: Football and Finding Balance
"Islam calls for us to be balanced, centred, and to fully do that, we have to accept both good and bad, highs and lows... I don’t believe one can know one side without also knowing the other. " #Wembley

Majestic. Groceries in each hand, crook of each elbow, balancing potatoes on his shoulder, leaning back ever so slightly…
I watched a guy walk out of the supermarket with a whole week's worth of shopping WITHOUT any plastic carrier bags.

So why go plastic free? It’s better for our oceans (microfibres from clothes, microplastics from decomposing waste). It means less energy needed to create disposable plastic bottles and bags.
Here are some ways to cut down, recommended by our fans on Facebook! #plasticfreejuly

Rosalyn - "I've started taking my bottles to fill up in a shop called Bare + Fair. I have been buying washing detergent and dishwasher tablets from @smolrevolution for a long time now. So I don’t have too many bottles to refill!"

It’s been a year since my family started our mission toward a plastic free lifestyle. Here are the highlights to inspire others as we embark on #PlasticfreeJuly. Come join us as #thereisnoplanetb 1/15
First change was to stop the online shopping - first groceries and then incidentals from the likes of Amazon. Packaging of delivered goods is excessive and all those journeys to my house. Free prime delivery? Not for the planet. Three exceptions for milk, veg and wine. 2/15
A really easy change was to get a milkman. It is more expensive, but very convenient and saves a lot of plastic with a growing family. Thanks @milkandmore ! Plus we don’t have a car so lugging milk and juice around is hard work. 3/15
