Ban the Sale of Disposable Plastics in Australian Supermarkets

The issue

Every day, my family and I witness the devastating impact of disposable plastics. Our local beach, once pristine and untouched, is now littered with plastic waste. The park where children love to play is no different; plastic debris can be found on every corner. It's not just an eyesore - it's a deadly threat to our wildlife.

In Australia alone, hundreds of thousands of marine animals die each year due to plastic pollution. This isn't just about preserving the beauty of our natural landscapes; it's about protecting the creatures that call these places home.

Supermarkets are significant contributors to this problem. They sell vast amounts of disposable plastics that end up polluting our environment. We need them to take responsibility for their part in this crisis.

We call on all supermarkets across Australia to completely ban the sale of disposable plastics from their stores. By doing so, they can set an example for other businesses and play a crucial role in reducing plastic pollution.

If you believe in a cleaner future for Australia - one free from unnecessary and harmful disposable plastics, sign this petition today, and help us take a step towards a plastic free future!
