Three Days - Three Organisations - Three Outcomes.
More and more communities around Australia are realising the negative impacts that plastic pollution, especially single-use, disposable plastic have on:
• The environment and public spaces
• Waste management systems and waste streams
• Human health and wellbeing
• Oceans and coastlines
• Wildlife
We are three established organisations currently addressing the issue of litter and plastic pollution at a grassroots level. Over three days in your community, we deliver fun, creative and innovative events, activities and projects providing a three-pronged approach to litter reduction and single-use plastic awareness. Our aim is to inspire, enable and empower community collaboration through education, action and ongoing initiatives bringing lasting, positive change to your region and environment.
