Steve/MASCers,
It's all about *REDUCING **single use **plastic*. This will be our second
year and it really makes you think twice about how everything we consume is
packaged.
In the last 12 months we have become more aware of how much plastic is used
for food packaging in particular and not a lot of it is good for you, let
alone the planet! The rapidly increasing use of plastic for coating all the
consumables we use in our lives cannot continue at this pace!
Obviously plastic has a place in our lives as long as it is used wisely and
not just thrown away after 5 minutes taking 500+ years to decompose.
There are many ways to be involved and any amount that you can reduce helps
stop the cycle.
How many will join us?

Hi all,
Shannon from Parks Victoria at the Prom has asked me to pass this along - a
good cause!
Cheers,

This year AMCS Victoria is participating in Plastic Free July
<https://m.facebook.com/PlasticFreeJuly?ref=bookmark>! Plastic Free July
is
an awesome challenge where you're invited to attempt to refuse single-use
plastic during July. "Single-use" includes plastic shopping bags, plastic
cups, straws, plastic packaging...
To kick off the groups involvement in this awesome initiative, we have
organised for a group of key Melbourians at the forefront of plastic
pollution in Victoria, who have spent countless hours investigating and
helping preserve Melbourne's coastline..
On Wednesday the 24th of June at 600pm at the John Curtin Hotel (29 Lygon
St, Carlton, 3053), AMCS speakers will be joined by Baykeeper Neil Blake
and Nick Lunardi from Scab Duty - it'll be an awesome evening packed with
good vibes and can-do attitudes, plus a beer or two!
Bring your friends, family and everyone else, and RSVP here
