W2040
You can be part of the local action to achieve the goals in Warrnambool in 2040 by making some small changes in your life, home, school, workplace or club.
Promise to take some small actions from the list below (or add your own) to be part of the community action for positive change.
WANT TO KICK THE SINGLE-USE-PLASTIC HABIT?Remember your:
2020
Reusable bags
Drink bottle
Reusable coffee cup – or just use an old mug
Stainless steel or paper straws – or go without!
Switch plastic stemmed cotton buds for paper or bamboo or reusable – yes that’s right reusable cotton buds! #BetterBuds
Swap shampoo in plastic bottles for shampoo bars or bulk buy at the health food shop.
Swap plastic toothbrushes for bamboo. When finished snap off the heads and chuck in your compost or FOGO.
Microbeads – don’t do it! You know they always end up in the ocean. Choose products without or make your own. Coffee grinds work great and smell good too!
WHAT WILL YOUR W2040 PLEDGE BE?
Plan meat free meals at least weekly
Never throw food/organic waste in the rubbish – use the FOGO bin
Reduce all waste in my home/school/workplace
Say no to single use plastic – cotton buds, bags, straws, cups, bottles
Plant indigenous species of trees, shrubs and grasses.
