Thankyou for making the pledge to reduce the use of plastic bags.
By taking this pledge you….
- Will be part of the solution to reduce the amount of plastic bags that enter the litter stream every year. About 50 million plastic bags enter the litter stream in Australia every year.
- Will provide a safer environment for our wildlife. 20% of wildlife entanglements are caused by plastics such as plastic bag straps and 33% of the world’s turtles have eaten plastic, as they mistake plastic bags for jellyfish.
- You will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Large amounts of oil and energy can be saved by avoiding the production and use of single use plastics.
