When Nina Simone sang Feeling Good in 1965, mass-produced plastic was only about 15 years old. The fish in the sea had barely met it.

Sixty years later, it’s everywhere they swim. Join us to help turn off the plastic tap, so that all sea life can be Feeling Good again!

Here's a strange goal for a cleanup movement: we'd love to put ourselves out of a job.

Picking up plastic will always matter. But if that's all we ever do, we'll be doing it forever.

The Take 3 movement is about turning small actions on the ground into big pressure for change at the source. We can't wait to share what we're working on 👀

The ocean is the life force of the planet. It holds the solutions for a better tomorrow.

Tim featured on the Goodtrepreneur recently to talk about the plastic pollution landscape and what it's really going to take to turn off the tap.

World Clean Up Day! 💙

Our Seaside Scavenge for Mosman Sustainability Fair by Mosman Council brought more than 100 people to the coast, powered by 10 amazing volunteers! We partnered with The Big Butt Hunt by No More Butts as part of World Cleanup Day.

Together we cleared litter, tackled mountains of cigarette butts and recorded the data that helps push for change at the source.

To everyone who showed up and got their hands dirty, thank you. This is what community looks like and it’s an important part of how we build the momentum required to push for bigger systemic change.

See you at the next one.

Making real change is about harnessing collective action. This Sunday, The Big Butt Hunt by No More Butts brings together a long list of environmental changemakers for World Clean Up Day.

Tackle Australia’s most littered item: the cigarette butt and be part of the world’s largest global civic clean up event!

At Take 3, we’ll be contributing our Seaside Scavange and data collection as part of Mosman Sustainability Fair. Link in bio to join.

Right now, the companies that make & sell packaging aren’t responsible for where it ends up. Households and councils bear the cost, with the environment paying the price for what “leaks out”.

Extended Producer Responsibility puts the cost, and the reason to make less waste, back with the makers.

Last week the government stepped back from this reform after promising to introduce it in 2023. This Friday, Environment Ministers from across Australian meet. They need to hear us loud and clear before they do.

Two minutes is all it takes. Email or call Minister Murray Watt and your State Environment Minister telling them to stick to their promise on EPR for plastic packaging.

The science in these slides is confronting.

Change like this takes a lot. Policy, industry, science and communities. But 3 forces stand out to us and they’re strongest together:

The research to prove what’s happening. People like Dr Sarah Dunlop and the team at Minderoo Foundation, who are uncovering what plastic is doing inside our bodies.

The stories that make us feel it. People like Kal Glanznig creating films like The Plastic Country.

And the everyday action that turns that knowledge and inspiration into a movement. That’s where you come in. The Take 3 for the Sea community is about small actions, repeated by enough people adding up to big change. Refuse single-use plastic. Take 3 pieces with you. Use your voice where it counts.

On their own, none of these are enough. Together, they move things and that’s how we build the pressure needed to turn off the plastic tap at the source.

Imagine if your receipt told the full story.

Single-use plastic is actually extortionate. There's a hidden line item for cleanups, for damage to wildlife and the environment, for the carbon released into the atmosphere and for the particles that make their way into us.

You don't see it on the receipt, but it still gets paid.

Most of the time, refusing single-use plastic costs nothing. Think about that.

The world has done the seemingly impossible before. We phased out chemicals eating the ozone layer. We got the lead out of petrol. Action on plastic can be next.

Those problems didn't solve themselves. People demanded changes to the rules and governments delivered them. People power works.

Australia is currently one of the top producers of plastic waste per capita. We can change this. Over 80 countries have introduced mandatory targets to reduce plastic packaging & encourage a circular economy.

Right now, we have a remarkable opportunity to change the rules and become a country that others follow.

This is a snippet from . You can add your name to the calls for mandatory EPR plastic packaging legislation in Australia on their website, where you can also request to host a community screening of the film to help spread awareness.

Let’s refuse to be ‘this plastic country’.

To everyone in our Take 3 community. The beachcombers, the early morning walkers, the ones who know every tide line. If you're carrying a quiet sadness right now, you're not alone.

Hold onto this: nature is extraordinarily resilient. And so is a community that cares this much 💙
