Community cleanups are happening worldwide 🌍, addressing the issue of plastic pollution head-on. 🚯 Joining these cleanup initiatives isn't just about tidying up; it's also an opportunity to connect with fellow change-makers who are committed to making a positive impact. Some individuals integrate litter pickup into their daily routines. But cleaning up is only part of the solution. Recording data about the types of litter collected is crucial. This information provides valuable insights that can drive meaningful change.

Great Plastic Free July reuse tour yesterday in Sydney to look at the Cercle cup exchange scheme being piloted in a busy inner city office building service internal and public cafes. Switching from single-use to reusables isn't easy and it was great to hear from Patrick Manley on how they are working with the cafes, Mirvac and Prisoners Aid Association of NSW to implement reuse at scale and reduce plastic waste. Every year we hear of the growing number of businesses launching reuse at scale on 1st July. Let us know about any reuse schemes happening in your area! #PlasticFreeJuly #SmallStepsBigDifference #CircularEconomy
