After numerous years crusading, a restriction on plastic sacks is on the plan at the Environment Ministers meeting on Friday 25 November 2016. It is the ideal opportunity for activity on plastic sacks - for the last time.

Plastic Bag Free gatherings have been running neighborhood activities and gathering a great many supporters. In 2012 Plastic Bag Free NSW volunteers have gathered 12,472 marks on an appeal requesting that the NSW government present a prohibition on lightweight plastic packs.

A July 2015 Omnipoll uncovered 63% of Australians (and furthermore basic supply purchasers) bolster a prohibition on single utilize plastic sacks from general stores and stores. 81% help the current boycott in South Australia indicating open help develops once a boycott becomes effective.

We have given all state and government condition clergymen with the actualities and a point by point approach position. While past states, for example, SA and NT have prohibited plastic sacks they made a noteworthy escape clause by permitting purported biodegradable packs - yet these basically separate into little pieces (microplastics) and contain overwhelming metals. They should be restricted as well.
 We all agree smoothie straws make great fundraising ideas.
