Please express your concerns about the dangers of single use plastic bags. By spreading our message and adding a personal touch - you will make a difference!

If you have not written a letter to the editor before -  here's a few helpful hints to get you started:

> Look up published Letters to the Editor in your chosen newspaper. This is a fantastic way to gauge the writing styles that appeal to that paper's editor.

> You should also check to see if the newspaper has guidelines for length and other various aspects.

> Use a personal story or illustration to explain why NSW, VIC and WA should ban the bag.

For more information and helpful hints on how to write a letter to the editor, head here. Let us know if your letter has been published and we will share it on social media.

It’s time to take action. NSW, VIC and WA need to adopt this positive protection measure and save countless marine animals!

    I Suppose I use single use plastic bags more than once in my house, and I say no to them when ever I can because I usually carry a bag with me on my shoulder. Still further more a ban on those plastic bags can clean up the ocean a bit more, So I have nothing against baning them. Save more of the the oceans life and ban single use plastic bags in NSW. And I will be impressed. And those who suffer from their addiction to those single use plastic bags, are capable of living with out them i’m sure. We should have never been using so many of them already, ban them sooner the better.
