International Plastic Bag Free Day is observed annually on 3 July. The day is celebrated to raise awareness about the serious issues of plastic pollution and the serious threat to the natural environment ranging from land to marine life. Since plastic bags take about 100-500 years to decompose, it creates land pollution as it is dumped in landfills and proves to be dangerous to marine animals when washed into the ocean. Hence, it becomes imperative to sound the alarm against the ill-effects of single use plastic bags.

To promote the use of eco-friendly items like paper bags or cloth bags instead of plastic bags and get rid of single-use plastic bags, July 3 has been designated as International Plastic Bag Free Day.
On this day, people organize meetings, debates, social events to encourage people to take a pledge to tackle the serious problem of plastic at an individual level. People start beach clean campaign, ocean clean campaign and much more on this day to free the environment from suffocating plastic bags.
