“Awesome”, “fantastic” and “excellent” were just some of the responses made by Noosa locals to the decision by Noosa Today to go plastic free from this week. All of us at Noosa Today would like to thank the community for the overwhelmingly positive response we have received since the announcement last week.
And we would like to thank Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa and Plastic Free Noosa for their backing.
In the past week we have had numerous Facebook likes and comments and heard from community groups, Facebook groups and individuals including Noosa MP Sandy Bolton who said it was “welcomed news”
Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) praised the move that will also save the organisation unwanted work.
“Great news that this newspaper has decided to stop wrapping it in plastic and throwing it onto footpaths,” NICA president Bruce Hallett said. “Bushcare groups like ours are forever removing them from creeks and storm water outlets so it will mean we can concentrate on what we want to do…removing weeds”.
And a few individuals have echoed this sentiment.
Jen Minke said it was a fantastic move. “I hate seeing the papers washed down the drain covered in plastic,” she said.
“Excellent initiative,” Anna Macklin said. “Thank you for considering our beautiful planet’s future wellbeing”.
