Plastic Free July helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution. One way to do this is to sign up for the Plastic Free July Challenge.
Small actions make a big difference. It can be easy as:
- choosing unpackaged meat, fish and deli items
- bringing your own shopping bags
- choosing reusable drink bottles
- choosing loose produce
- avoiding disposable coffee cups
- picking up and preventing litter
- storing food in reusable containers
- avoiding plastic wrap
Mayor of Maroondah, Councillor Rob Steane OAM, will be taking part and encouraged residents to also consider using less plastic.
“Plastic pollution harms the environment, wildlife and our health. That’s why I’m pledging to use less plastic, whether it be using my reusable drink bottle, choosing loose produce at the supermarket, or taking my reusable shopping bags with me,” Cr Steane said.
“I encourage residents to take part in Council’s Plastic Free July workshops and events and to also consider using less plastic, as this can help create cleaner streets and oceans and help keep Maroondah looking beautiful.”
