This July, Sabeena is pledging to refuse single-use cups.
I hope to add more videos soon.
I have posted my 2022 and 2021 Plastic Free July blogs below.
My right shoulder restricted me from posting daily and it took me a many weeks to edit and produce my Plastic Free July 2022 video in English and translated in Urdu.
This year I participated in Plastic Free July for the 4th consecutive year and translated my posts in Urdu for the first year.
This year I was thwarted with severe pain in my right shoulder and struggled to post everyday.
I haven't edited my video yet and hope to post it as soon as I am able.
For those interested in my posts I have posted on my social media handles

اس سال میں نے مسلسل چوتھے سال پلاسٹک فری جولائی میں حصہ لیا اور پہلے سال اپنی پوسٹس کا اردو میں ترجمہ کیا۔
اس سال میں اپنے دائیں کندھے میں شدید درد کی وجہ سے ناکام رہا اور ہر روز پوسٹ کرنے کے لیے جدوجہد کر رہا تھا۔
میں نے ابھی تک اپنے ویڈیو میں ترمیم نہیں کی ہے اور امید کرتا ہوں کہ جیسے ہی میں اسے پوسٹ کروں گا۔
میری پوسٹس میں دلچسپی رکھنے والوں کے لیے میں نے اپنے سوشل میڈیا ہینڈلز پر پوسٹ کیا ہے۔
Will you?

For those interested I've also posted my blog for Plastic Free July 2021 below.
Due to my three surgeries and I have found the challenge very difficult and challenging this year.
I'd like to reiterate once again that I hope to continue my plastic and zero waste journey and reduce my consumption of menstrual hygiene and cleaning products and learn how to make my own soap, body wash, bread, conditioner and compost my waste..
It will be a long work in progress one that I am very passionate to change.
I hope to continue with Plastic Free July as long as I physically can.
پلاسٹک فری کے سفر کو جاری رکھنے کی امید کرتی ہوں ۔
