Plastic in the ocean is estimated to outweigh fish by 2050.
Get your friends and family to sponsor you to go plastic free this July. Raise awareness, create change in your circle of influence and help raise money for the Cairns and Far North Environment Centre.
Say NO to all single-use plastic items, just the Top 4 (straws, plastic bottles, plastic bags, coffee cups) or make your own custom pledge (eg. plastic-free workplace, classroom, or travel).
Sign up for a day, a week, or the whole month. Take an individual challenge, or galvanise your friends, colleagues, or students and sign up as a team!
Maybe you will even be inspired to turn your plastic-free challenge into a life-long habit.

In the past year, CAFNEC has hosted over 25 plastic reducing awareness and education events in Far North Queensland including the Cairns Drain Stencil Project, Boomerang Bags Cairns, film screenings, workshops on plastic-free living, a family fun day and events for Plastic Free July in 2016.
