25.01.2022 Cool "don't litter" sing along.
23.01.2022 Working at the marine debris coalface ahead of a meeting at Minister for The Environment office tomorrow. It is helpful to actually touch "the issue", with your bare hands, which leads to despair and anger occasionally but also to determination that we must get a handle on this. Yes let's continue to all clean up as much as we can but at the same time we must urge the government, our councils and industry to do whatever they can to turn off the "plastic tap" at the other end.... Tomorrow we will ask Gabrielle Upton to do just that by urging the NSW Government to ban/phase out single use lightweight plastic bags as a first step towards reducing our destructive addiction to single use plastic items. Today's 1 hour / 4 hands "treasure" hunt produced dozens of plastic bags, 84 bottle caps, 46 bottles/cans, 54 straws, 10 tennis balls, hundreds of snack wrapper and loads of misc. items. The strong onshore wind kept delivering more treasure..... See more
23.01.2022 What would be a good headline here or should we just shed a tear?
21.01.2022 Every year in NSW thousands of marine animals are injured and killed by plastic pollution in our oceans. There is one way to fix it - a ban on single-use plasti...c bags. South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory and the ACT have already banned the bag. Now it's time for NSW to do the same! #banthebag #plasticfreejuly

08.01.2022 It's happening, now let's keep it alive!!!
08.01.2022 Come and join us @ Bondi on this great winter's day. 12.30 - 3.00PM
08.01.2022 It has been 4 years since this passionate delegation delivered 13.000 signatures, in support of a legislated plastic bag ban in NSW, to the Parliament of NSW. Although the other States will have a legislated ban in place in time to come, NSW is missing in action. Our Premier has decided that she will leave it up to the supermarkets and other retailers to phase out single use plastic bags. Although we welcome the decision by the leading supermarkets to no longer supply free bags from the end of this month it is essential that NSW introduces legislation to safeguard a ban for the future. We will continue our actions until such time that NSW will join the other states and the ban will be nationwide.
07.01.2022 Must see documentary before you cast your vote.

07.01.2022 What else do we need to know?
07.01.2022 Easier than you think.
07.01.2022 If this isn't reason enough to ban disposable plastic bags and stop using them immediately until they are, how many whales will it take?
05.01.2022 The journey of the things we toss.
05.01.2022 Lane Cove Residents - join Council meeting coming Monday night 7pm Council Chambers
04.01.2022 The sooner the better and may others follow asap. Better still, ban the stuff.
03.01.2022 The War on Waste - our coffee drinking problem.
03.01.2022 We want our NSW Minister for the Environment to step up to the podium and #banthe bag. Our supermarkets lead the way, now there is no other option but for our Government to ensure that we have effective legislation across the board. Next week the State Environment Ministers will be meeting in Melbourne. The plastic bag ban will be debated. It is not too late to contact your MP.
03.01.2022 Our thoughts are with Ian's loved ones.So honoured to have shared the campaign with Ian. Rest in peace. We will continue participating in your mission.
02.01.2022 After a short but punchy campaign along the "Sculptures by the Sea" we did a small celebration plastic bag monster skate @ Bondi. We can report overwhelming support for a ban on plastic bags.
