Calling all NSW Sporting and Community Groups!

Do you organise or lend a hand to organise your local sporting, community group, charity, religious group, or non-for-profit?

Did you know that there is a NSW Plastics Ban coming into force from 1 June?

Amanda Choy, Program Coordinator for the Better Business Partnership program, a sustainable business program provided by 3 local councils in the North Shore of Sydney will be joined by Sarah Rhodes, founder of Plastic Free South East Asia (PFSEA). While some of you know Sarah as the BBP Program Manager for Willoughby Council, you may not know that Sarah started PFSEA in 2015 whilst living in Cambodia, and has reached over 300 business groups to support them on minimising single-use plastics!

Come along to this free educational session to learn about:

which plastic items are being banned and when from;
what scenarios these banned items feature in and
what viable alternatives there are to ensure compliance.

We also are so pleased to announce our special guests, Plastic Free Sophia who originally petitioned the NSW Government in 2018 at the age of 14 collecting more than 10,000 signatures to ban the plastic bag and who continues to be a plastic free role model for all also helping to get Sustainable Sports Program up and running.

We also are pleased to have Jen Stokes, Ku-ring-gai's Environmental Citizen of the Year who leads up the vibrant and active Boomerang Bags Ku-ring-gai group talk to us about bringing community and environment together!
