BOSS is running a bag making competition and associated workshops. This is part of a campaign to reduce the number of single use plastic bags in our town, and get people to start considering options.

With Plastic Free July just around the corner, we would love to show the community what the every-day person can do to reduce their plastic usage, in a fun way! This event is part of the team’s new campaign called “It All Adds Up”, which hopes to send a positive message and empower the community to make a change.

This campaign focussed on saving the Tallarook Forest (VIC) from logging.

The Plastic Bag Action Group is looking at options to reduce or eliminate plastic bags from the waste stream in Benalla.

Our goal - to have Benalla a 'single use plastic bag free' & 'water bottle free' town
