Plastic-free July reading list for environmentalists (kids and teens)
Plastic Free July is a widespread social movement that encourages us to be more conscious of our plastic consumption, and to actively reduce single-use plastics in our day to day lifestyle. Making sustainable choices for our families and educating our children about waste and climate change is at the heart of reducing our environmental footprint as eco-conscious members of our community, both locally and globally.
If you are looking for some books to kickstart your family's Plastic-Free July journey, look no further! It’s never too early to start learning about how to be a good ancestor, we’ve included lists for kids and teens. Next week we will share our list for adults of books by women about sustainable living and the future of our planet.

Omicron Logistics Status Update | 12th Jan 22
The rapid spread of the Omicron variant has further impacted the logistics industry. This includes many courier drivers, warehouse staff, forklift drivers, container unpack crews and administrators.
Due to the widespread impact of Omicron infections, our partnered carriers across the network are experiencing both a surge in parcel deliveries and major disruptions to their delivery services. With a significant number of people in self-isolation in accordance with state regulations and public health orders, delivery delays are expected across the network due to driver shortages, depots experiencing temporary closures and/or operating with significantly reduced staff.
This has also created some lags in tracking details being updated on carrier websites.
Please allow (at least) an extra 14 business days on top of your estimated date for arrival.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
