🥪 No Plastic Wrap Day! Say No to Cling Wrap, Say Yes to Reusable Covers!

July 20, 2025

Today’s Plastic-Free Challenge is a sticky one… because we’re talking about plastic wrap (also called cling wrap). You know—that clear, stretchy stuff people use to cover food?

Well, guess what? It’s No Plastic Wrap Day—and YOU can help save the planet by using fun, reusable covers instead!

😟 Why Skip the Cling Wrap?

Plastic wrap might keep food covered for a day or two, but:

• It gets used once and then thrown away 

• It can’t be recycled

• It often ends up in landfills or the ocean, hurting animals like turtles and birds 🐢🕊️

That’s why we’re saying: “No thanks, cling wrap!” 👋
