SUMMARY:International Plastic Free Day
DESCRIPTION:International Plastic Free Day is a call to action and brings attention to the plastic we use every day. On May 25th\, commit to using no single-use plastic for one day (including bottles\, take-out food containers\, utensils\, bags and wrappers.) \n#InternationalPlasticFreeDay\nOver 380 million tons of plastic is produced every year. Half of all plastic produced is single-use – meaning it’s thrown away after just one use. Since only 9% of all plastic gets recycled\, most of it ends up littering our communities\, filling our landfills\, and polluting our oceans. \nInternational Plastic Free Day creates awareness of just how much plastic we use every day\, and how we can use less of it. Consider all the ways single-use plastic is used in our daily lives: \n\nBeverage bottles\nCleaning products in plastic jugs\nTo-go containers\nFood packaging\nCups\, straws\, lids\nStorage bags\nProduct packaging\n\nParticipation is simple: Say “No” to single-use plastics for one day. Don’t buy it\, refuse it\, don’t use it. The day also encourages learning how to swap sustainable products for single-use plastics. For example\, swap: \n\nSingle-use straws with reusable bamboo straws.\nReusable tumbler for drinking both hot and cold beverages.\nReusable cloth bags for shopping.\nSilicone bags for sandwiches and snacks.\nCompostable garbage bags.\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL PLASTICS FREE DAY\nBefore May 25th\, take the plastic-free challenge and commit to using no single-use plastics all day long. Every time you do\, one less piece of plastic will be added to the environment. During International Plastic Free Day you can also: \n\nStart a conversation about single-use plastic and its impact on the Earth.\nLearn how plastic waste impacts our environment.\nDiscover one permanent change you can make to create less plastic waste.\nVisit Free the Ocean for more ways to reduce plastic waste.\n\nWhen you participate\, be sure to use #InternationalPlasticFeeDay and share on social media to help raise awareness. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Wine Day
DESCRIPTION:On May 25th each year\, wine lovers everywhere pour a glass of their favorite wine to celebrate National Wine Day.  Whether it is Red or White\, the sound of glassing “clinking” will be heard around the world today. \n#NationalWineDay\nMade from fermented grapes or other fruits\, wine is an alcoholic beverage. During the fermentation processes\, yeast consumes the sugars in the grapes converting it into alcohol.  Different grapes produce different wines.  Winemakers will combine different wines to create more complex flavors.  Wines made from fruit or honey are often named according to the variety of fruit used. \nRed wine varietals produce deep ruby reds as well as subtle ambers and browns. Their beautiful colors hint at the coming change in the season. With that\, we can look for delicious menu changes\, too. Besides\, what better way to enjoy a great bottle of wine than by pairing it with excellent company and food. \nWinemakers produce white wines from grapes with light yellow-green skins or light red skins. However\, it’s not the color of the grapes that give the wine its color. It’s the tannins in the grape skins that color wine red and also the flavor. White wines are generally sweeter than red wines and are best served chilled. Most red wines are served at room temperature. However\, a sweet red should also be chilled for the best flavor. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL WINE DAY\nReminisce with family and friends over a glass of wine.  Enjoy wine with a favorite meal.  And just a little tip\, in a couple of days we celebrate National Coq Au Vin Day which includes red wine as an ingredient. Pick up an extra bottle to prepare. Post photos using #NationalWineDay on social media. \nIf you’re looking for more wine days to celebrate Check out these 9 Wine Celebrations. \nGet your National Wine Day socks here! \nNATIONAL WINE DAY HISTORY\nNational Day Calendar continues researching the origins of this fermenting holiday.
