This long-standing organization concentrates on helping us find ways to eliminate single-use plastic items from our daily lives, at least for the month of July. Visit their website to sign up for this challenge, and start refusing to use one or two items – and imagine what a difference that makes when we join with others around the world doing the same thing!
Next, get in on local action right here in the Mid-Ohio Valley! Head to the *MOVCA Calendar of Events and activities this July.
The calendar lists numerous things you can do personally as well as in-person events and activities you can attend FREE OF CHARGE! Join us whenever you can during the month, whether for events we have organized or events planned by our allied groups. Being there for everything is encouraged, but not required. Here are some highlights:
July 3rd Kick-off Party and Community Drum Circle
July 9th Screening of “The Plastic Detox” with Q&A and discussion following the film
July 11th The Wild Ones presenting info on plastic-free gardening at Marietta Farmers Market
July 16th Screening of “We’re All Plastic People Now”with Q&A and discussion

*Full information about these events (time, place, etc.) on the calendar.
Updates and announcements will be posted on our website with additional information
When you are out and about during the month, look for our billboards– large-scale reminders to eliminate single-use plastic for the good of ourselves and our planet.
MOVCA greatly appreciates a grant from the Mountain Watershed Association Direct Support Fund in support of our anti-plastic campaign.
