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

Ban plastic straws!

It's not hard to replace these items with non lastic reusable a considering they haven't been around for that long. We are a lazy entitled society allowing convenience to outway our children's future.

It’s time.

Let's support local bespoke makers of metal straws and get our own reusable straw!

We have to start somewhere and this is a great start.

This is a no brainer!

Make a change!!

A great start to a plastic free movement.

plastic is dangerous on all levels

No need for single use plastics anymore! Promote more options and incentives for sustainable living

#leavenotrace

Hells yes! Let’s lead the way (if any council can do it it’s Newie!)

We use stainless steel straws

Please Newcastle! Let's make this happen!

Please be one of the first councils to ban single use plastics!

This is essential change that we need to make happen, for our future generations! Let’s do this!!

Let’s put this in place NOW and Reuse- Recycle and RePurpose. It’s time

Let’s keep working towards and plastic free and then eventually a waste free world.

It's easy to point at what other countries can do and how little our contribution really is. No more "whataboutism", everybody needs to do their fair share and lead by example.

There are reusable items we have why are we not using them
