Big news: NSW Labor has just confirmed that it will deliver a ban on plastic bags in NSW in the first 100 days, if it wins the next election.
And that’s not all. NSW Labor have also pledged to phase out single-use plastic cups and straws in NSW, as well as implementing a recycling, resource recovery and waste council to manage the landfill crisis.
This is HUGE. And to make sure this actually happens we need to do two things, right now:
Congratulate NSW Labor for demonstrating leadership on environmental issues.
Show the Berejiklian Government that tons of people want to see an end to plastic pollution, no matter who wins the election.
Share the news right now to make sure this flies far and wide.
With one side of politics taking this seriously, we are close to winning a ban on plastic bags this year! With more single-use plastic products replaced soon. But the current NSW Government have avoided this issue for many years (and through many environment ministers). This is despite the government’s own advice that more than 10 million bags will enter the NSW environment each year, threatening marine life.
We need to reward leadership, when it happens, and remind those leaders who aren’t keeping up that we are watching their every move.
Share this story so that NSW Labor and Liberals know where you stand on plastic pollution.
We know the major parties are watching every popular issue closely. And with two weeks to go to the state election, our actions couldn’t be more impactful.
Now - let’s show them we’re all on board.

PS: this is a really big deal. Plastic pollution is getting out of control. It’s in our water, our food and new evidence shows how it’s getting into our bodies.[3] And NSW is one of the world’s biggest massive waste producers, per capita. We can win this if we show our strength together, right now. And when we win this, we will have cut substantially cut one of the largest sources of plastic pollution in NSW. Let’s do this!
