Celebrate local businesses for Plastic Free July
To support local businesses, we'd like to dedicate Plastic-Free July to showcasing local businesses taking responsibility and doing their bit to reduce single-use plastic, and then have an awesome party to celebrate them!
But... we need your help finding identifying them. From now until midnight Sunday 26 July we want you to point out your local plastic-free superheroes.
So…
- if your local takeout swapped out plastic containers for home compostable ones, we want to hear about it!
- if you know of an awesome cafe refusing to use single-use cups, we want to hear about it!
- if your online orders (food, drink and otherwise) arrive free of plastic - we want to hear about it!
Even if your local food joint provides incentives for you to BYO containers, you know it - we want to hear about it!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
