What to Expect:
- Interactive Virtual Coaching: Participate in 6 engaging coaching sessions every Wednesday from June 25th to July 30th, 6:30-7:30 p.m. EST. Enjoy top tips, plastic-free "show and tell," demos, Q&A, and real-life scenario reviews that are all vegan-friendly.

Global Movement: Be part of Plastic Free July, a global initiative that has inspired over 100 million people in 190 countries to take action.
Flexible Participation: Join us when you can! Feel free to drop in for the sessions that fit your schedule and interests. Also you don’t have to be completely plastic-free. Start by reducing take-out containers or coffee cups—whatever feels right for you. Whether you attend one session or all, every step you take towards reducing plastic is valuable.
Why This Matters: Plastic pollution is a significant environmental challenge, affecting wildlife, ecosystems, and human health. By reducing our plastic consumption, we can contribute to a healthier planet and inspire others to do the same. Your efforts, no matter how small, can make a big difference.
Continuous Support:
- Signal Group: Join our Signal group for ongoing communication and encouragement.
- Follow-Up Sessions: Stay engaged with ongoing check-ins to support your journey beyond July.
Benefits of Attending:
- Connect with a like-minded community and make new friends.
- Discover sustainable options and money-saving strategies that benefit the planet.
- Learn habit-change principles and collaborate with others to share and develop ideas.
- Enjoy a fun and engaging experience!
Personal Journey: I've changed many of my habits and feel happy with my less wasteful lifestyle. Over the last three years, I've eliminated most single-use plastic, and I'm excited to share my journey with you.
How to Join: The coaching sessions are FREE, with an optional donation to help cover Meetup dues. A suggested donation of $5-$10 can help support our community efforts. To receive the session link, please DM me or email me at thebootcampgirl@gmail.com.
Let's make a positive impact together and support each other in creating lasting, sustainable habits. Looking forward to seeing you there!
