How will you go plastic free this July? 🤷
With Australia starting to get back to normal, what better way to reset our mindset and habits than by participating in #plasticfreejuly!
The recent shift to takeaway dining may have slowed the momentum for reduced plastic use, but here are a few ways we can get back on track!
☕ Ask your local cafe if they are taking reusable cups again! (Be respectful of the cafes decision, but there is no harm in asking right?)
🥤 Remember your reusable straws and cutlery when grabbing take out.
♻️ Working in the office again? Get the team involved and set a challenge to see who will use the least amount of plastic!
There are so many great ways to get back on track with a plastic free life and so many of you are chipping away at it. Big or small, any change will make a difference. 🤩
♻️ Green is clean! So remember to keep your reusables clean too!

For any community groups or individuals that need help on getting environmental grants - Ipswich City Council are hosting some grant writing workshops. ✍️ 🌿
Grants can be a great way to fund environmental projects and support private landholders with on ground management such as weed control and bushfire recovery!
🦉 FYI: The Threatened Species Recovery and Resilience Community Sustainability Action grant is currently available for on-ground projects which benefit threatened flora and fauna negatively impacted by the recent bushfires and drought. 🦘🐍
