Maybe you would like to know what each party is planning to do to further reduce plastic use, promote active transport, or clean up our waterways? Whatever it is, we want to hear about it.

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!
