Good Morning,
As Plastic Free July almost comes to a close, it's important that in our community, workplace and home, we keep the momentum going! 🌿
Why? Because the stats are terrifying:
🌏 According to recent research by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water...
Australians used 3.4 million tonnes of plastics in 2018-2019. 🤔
One million tonnes of Australia’s annual plastic consumption is single-use plastic 84% of plastic is sent to landfill and only 13% is recycled. 🥤
Every year in Australia approximately 130,000 tonnes of plastic leaks into the marine environment. 🗑️
Our use of plastic is increasing and across the world will double by 2040. 📈
By 2050, it is estimated that plastic in the oceans will outweigh fish. 🐟
By choosing to be plastic free this July, you're helping to reduce the overwhelming amount of plastic waste that ends up in our oceans and landfills, harming wildlife and polluting our environment.
By making small changes, we contribute to a cleaner, healthier planet and set an example for sustainable living, ensuring a better future for the next generation. ✨
