Find out about the objectives and how you can get involved and be Plastic Free Allies
Community action is the pathway to success for Plastic Free Communities. Ensuring as many people as possible are aware of the campaign and issue of single-use plastics, offers the best chance for change, reducing the amount of plastic pollution in our environment.
Surfers Against Sewage, Community Toolkit
The way that community groups can get involved is through education and engagement. We need you to help spread the message through your groups and organisations to ensure that the plastic free message is reaching as many people as possible.
You can help by adding plastic free talks and workshops to your activities, by looking at any premises that you use or occupy and helping them go plastic free and by encouraging members not to use single-use plastics, for example by banning disposable cups or drinks bottles.
