Plastic is a blight on our planet . Come along to this event and find out more

One of the groups that formed from our Climate Voices program is hosting a movie screening and event this Sunday at CNLC. See details below.

Hi all, the Plasticless People campaign are hosting a film screening THIS SUNDAY 11am-1pm at the CNLC.

We got a grant at the start of the year to run some community awareness raising events and this is our first event to kick off our campaign! Very exciting and thankful for Tony’s and Yarra City Council’s support.

We’d love for you to all come along and support our campaign and help raise community awareness of this important issue. There will be a short discussion after the film and free food!
