Great news! We now have two new butt bins installed outside the surf club, thanks to the determination of Jan our President and a grant from the Australian Government.

Cigarette butts are in the top 10 items we collect in our regular beach cleans. These new bins will make an important contribution to reducing the number of butts that end up in the ocean and impact on sea life.

A huge thanks from our whole community to Avoca Beach surf club for stepping up to install the bins on the outside of their building. 💚 🌊 👏

🌟 Plastic-Free Champion Alert! 🌟
A big shout-out to Nurtured Earth Organics for stepping up this ! 🙌

These guys are a proud annual supporter of Plastic Free July and make efforts all year round to reduce single-use plastic waste.

They support farmers that grow using organic and sustainable farming methods and they work hard to source fruits and vegetables from local suppliers. They are always looking for ways to lessen packaging. At Mondays end, after sending out food to over 100 families, the rubbish to landfill fits into one small bag.

It’s efforts like these that make a BIG difference for our ocean and community. 💙
