Plastic pollution threatens Australia's unique biodiversity and scenic beauty, polluting marine and terrestrial environments alike. From the Great Barrier Reef to urban areas, plastic debris harms our wildlife and ecosystems.

 

Additionally, the production and disposal of plastic carry significant environmental and health implications. Plastic is derived from fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbating climate change. Additionally, many plastics contain harmful chemicals that can leach into the environment, posing risks to human health and wildlife alike.

​

Among these challenges, Plastic Free July emerges as a pivotal moment for Australians to take action. This global movement encourages individuals to refuse single-use plastics and seek alternatives throughout the month of July and beyond. 

​

Embracing a plastic-free lifestyle requires a shift in mindset and behaviour, including choosing reusable options and supporting eco-friendly businesses. By participating in Plastic Free July and beyond, Australians can make a real impact in the fight against plastic pollution and protect the future of our planet.
