Choose to Reuse - Make a small change for big impact this Plastic Free July
In anticipation of the arrival of humpback whales to our shores there’s never been a better time to swap out single-use plastics than in July.
There have been some big changes this year and keeping Covid-safe has meant that some single-use items, such as take-away coffee cups and plastic food containers, have increased. But don’t fear - there is still so much we can do to make an impact!
This Plastic Free July, we’ve put together a brilliant package of virtual events, online activities and resources to help keep you inspired, informed and plastic-free throughout the month, and beyond.
- ‘Get Your Kit On’ - Create your own plastic-free kit that helps reduce single-use. Show us what’s in your kit for the chance to win a family whale watching experience on our very own, Sunshine Coast.
- Virtual Events - Check out these brilliant online events and presentations covering everything from DIY beeswax wraps and cutlery keepers, to becoming a plastic-free master tea blender.
- Resources – Find out all you need to know about modern cloth nappies with an online presentation and a range of other great articles to keep you inspired.
- Fact Sheets – Read the latest on BYO coffee cups as we strive to remain Covid-safe.
- Beach Clean Ups – Join the efforts of some of our favourite clean beach ambassadors.
#BYOSunshineCoast invites everyone to take up the challenge to ditch single-use and bring plastic-free items instead. To help inspire you, we’ve rounded up a simple guide to creating your own plastic-free kit to help minimise everyday waste.
