Keep Orlando Beautiful is making July a month of action, launching a series of events designed to help residents reduce their reliance on single-use plastics throughout the city.
The initiative ties into the global Plastic Free July movement, giving locals hands-on ways to engage with sustainability beyond simply tossing items into a recycling bin.
Events on the calendar offer something for a range of interests, from learning how everyday waste can be reduced to discovering how items beyond typical household recyclables can find a second life.
For Orlando residents looking to get more connected with their community while picking up practical green habits, the lineup provides a low-barrier entry point into environmental stewardship.
