Plastic Free Noosa have recently launched their Choose to Reuse campaign for Plastic Free July.
To launch the month, Peregian Beach Business Association, Pottery For The Planet and Plastic Free Noosa are launching Choose To Reuse on Friday 8 July.
The day will start off with a Plastic Free Noosa Beach Clean followed by activities in The Village Square throughout the day including Ocean Vibes live music and finishing with two Village Flicks showcasing including the feature film ‘Plastic Alarm by Plastic Free Boy’ followed by a Q&A with Plastic Free Boy Arlian and finishing with the family favourite, Happy Feet 2, presented by the Peregian Beach Business Association.
The purpose of this initiative is to help and inspire local businesses and individuals facing waste challenges to reduce the use of takeaway coffee cups and choose to reuse.
Peregian Beach cafes have already taken the first step to eliminating single-use coffee cups and are encouraging reusables for Plastic Free July. Pottery For The Planet are generously donating some of their handmade, ceramic lidless Travel Cups to stock their mug libraries at participating cafes.
