Chattanooga’s GreenSpaces promotes Plastic Free July
To begin with, let’s take a peek at what’s good to know, especially during this time of the year.

In line with the global movement towards a Plastic Free July, they suggest incorporating practical steps such as carrying reusable containers and seeking plastic-free alternatives in daily routines.
