We have adopted a target of reducing plastic pollution of our waterways by 70% by 2020. Already we have convinced NSW, Qld, ACT and WA to implement a container refund scheme; and are pressing to expand the plastic bag bans across the nation.

We are working with dozens of community groups who are determined to challenge this short term planning, by mobilising public support for new laws to prevent the sell-off of parks, by keeping and extending our shade giving trees, and preserving remaining bushland habitat.

2010-2020. The next 10 years are critical for our planet. To aid greater collaboration The Transition Decade presents a shared time frame for action that aims to accelerate the scale, scope and speed of change needed to restore a safe climate.

We encourage YOU to help address these globlal issues locally with plastic reductions at home, school, work and for your entire community.

Any laws that replace the Native Vegetation Act must strengthen protections for nature. But in May 2016, Premier Baird released his blueprint for stripping away our strongest nature conservation laws. We have lodged a submission guide expressing our strong opposition to any weakening of hard- won laws that endeavour to protect our natural environment.
