It's Plastic Free July! It's a great time to think about your plastic use and build new habits 💚🌏

There are loads of easy ways to avoid using single use plastics, from reusable coffee cups to bringing your water bottle with you rather than buying a new disposable one, or packing your food in a reusable container instead of cling film. 🚯

All cafes at UTS accept reusable coffee cups, and there are water filling stations all over campus, on most levels and in every kitchen. 💧
