Suptember 2020

Posted by on October 15, 2020

As part of the Boomerang Alliance Zero Plastic Pollution Campaign, we are launching SUPTEMBER! A whole month dedicated to getting rid of Single Use Plastics by inspiring and mobilising our supporters to take action. 

 

TAKE ACTION

SUPTEMBER CALENDAR

Visit our SUPtember Calendar where every day for 30 days, you will be challenged to take a pledge or a small action to refuse Single Use Plastic items. If you have young children, you may like to visit the Ocean Action Pod SUPtember Calendar also, where your kids can challenge themselves to be Ocean Action Heroes. 

If you're a busy person, just do what you can. Every small action matters!

Take on the challenge

SEND A GRATITUDE CARD 

Are there cafes or restaurants in your local area who have done the right thing and got rid of single-use plastic cutlery/coffee cups/straws/take away containers? Send them Gratitude cards to let them know that their effort hasn't gone unnoticed and is much appreciated. They can stick it on their wall as a badge of honour too!

The cards come in a pack of 10 or 25 and can be bought from our online store.

SEND A BE THE CHANGE CARD

If your local cafes or restaurants are still using single-use plastic items, why not send them Be the Change cards to encourage them to switch to reusable or compostable alternatives. You can also point them to our Covid-19 Plastic Free Guide which will help them choose the right products. 

The cards come in a pack of 10 or 25 and can be bought from our online store.

SEND A MESSAGE TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT MINISTER

SA, QLD and ACT have earned congratulations for getting the ball rolling on SUP phase outs and need to keep up the momentum. But NSW, VIC, TAS, WA and NT are still not taking action in phasing out Single Use Plastics and we need your help to send them a message of encouragement!

While you're at it, maybe attach a few photos of littered SUPs that you've picked up?

We acknowledge that the name of our organisation includes the name of the Aboriginal tool, the BOOMERANG, adopted for the symbolism of returning to the user. We hope that the resources we use, which all come from the land, will be part of a circular economy and return to that economy again and again. We respectfully commit to Care for Country in the spirit of the Indigenous custodians of this land and these waters. We recognise that there has never been compensation for stolen country. We continue to show our respect to Indigenous leaders, past, present and emerging. May we all walk respectfully on the land and protect the waterways which are life.
