Newcastle City Council please ban plastic straws, plastic bags, balloons & single use bottles!

As an individual and a consumer I have personally made a huge effort to reduce the amount of plastic that I use. Most people need encouragement, leadership and some need the availability of single use plastics removed altogether. Newcastle, please help change our attitude towards plastic and save our precious eco system!

I live in Nelson Bay and will try to get this community participating too!

Council should lead and other businesses will follow suit. In a few years hopefully we'll all be saying: remember how we used to use plastic bags shopping/plastic straws to drink with/non-reusable coffee cups? How silly pointless was that! Just like we say now: remember how people used to smoke in restaurants and pubs? How unhealthy was that! It will hopefully be a thing of the past, sooner rather than later

Let's do this!

Ban single use plastics Now! Please

ban all single use plastic straws and bags from Newcastle nsw

This is well overdue. Tells all make a change

This is LONG overdue. The Rep of Ireland started 'taxing' plastic bags in 2002! Average annual bag usage dropped from 350 to 14 pp! Lets get rid of more than bags.

I once had to stop a turtle from eating a plastic bag on a dive. Ban all single use plastic

With recycling in Australia breaking down, we need to start thinking about the cause of the problem rather than just the end result. Stop using unnecessary plastic!

Ban the straw ..

We call ourselves a modern & progressive society. If you walk a beach & see the rubbish, you will quickly understand how backward thinking & behaving we are. It’s time.

Go Mia your doing a brilliant job ❤️

We don’t need them!!

There’s no need, we can adapt quicker than you know! Give it ago.

100% support this movement!!

Do it!

Come On Newcastle - you know you can

Yes!! This is a MUST

Avoidable and wasteful, damaging and unsustainable
