PHILIPSBURG:--- The members of the Rotary Club of Sint Maarten – Mid Isle have joined the challenge for Plastic Free July!
Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be a part of the solution to plastic pollution. By following the three R’s – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle you can help create a more sustainable future for our planet.
There are many ways to reduce your plastic usage by Using bar soap instead of liquid soaps, instead of using plastic decorations use plastic-free options, and use reusable storage containers instead of cling wrap to name a few.
The Rotarians of the Club have been busy showing the community how they do the three Rs!

4. Past President Anjali reuses plastic containers (such as mushroom, ice cream, strawberry, and yogurt) for planting. And, she also uses water bottles as water can for her plants, by putting holes in the water bottle caps
Plastic waste is dangerous to the environment and can also be fatal to the animals who mistake it for food. Doing your part, no matter how small – will make a great difference in the long run!
