Help Make The City Of Yarra Proudly Plastic Free

Help us make the City of Yarra Proudly Plastic Free

Plastic is an environmental nightmare. Manufacture of plastics produces greenhouse gas. Plastic waste leaches toxins into our waterways. Toxins from plastics can end up in our food chain. Recycling reduces the problem, but the best strategy is to not use plastic in the first place.

We call on Yarra City Council to initiate a Proudly Plastic Free Campaign encouraging food outlets in the City of Yarra to stop using and distributing disposable plastic items, such as bags, bottles, cutlery and packaging.

Also, we pledge that we will preference businesses that display a Proudly Plastic Free Yarra sign.
