We all want to protect our local parks, beaches and amazing wildlife.
Thanks to pressure from Greens and the community, the Victorian Government has now committed to ban disposable plastic cutlery, plates, drink-stirrers, straws, cotton bud sticks, and polystyrene food and drink containers by February 2023.
This is great news, but we can't afford to stop there!
Sign the petition to show your support for the Greens plan to phase out all unnecessary single-use plastics, excess plastic on fruit and veggies, free plastic bags, take away containers, plastic coffee cups, and plastic fruit stickers.
Alternatives exist, and it’s time to get serious about protecting our oceans from plastics.

The Victorian Greens acknowledge that there remains some need for single-use plastic where no suitable alternative exists, such as in healthcare and for use by people with disability, and all bans must provide appropriate exemptions in these areas.
