Fantastic news today!

PODCAST:

Dave West exposes the extent of plastic being released into the Australian marine environment. 

We are excited to announce our newest campaign to build on the momentum of the recent CDS victories in NSW and QLD!

The "Turn Back The Toxic Tide" campaign aims to reduce 70% of Australian Marine Plastic Pollution by 2020. The campaign will include a weekly blog which addresses the various issues within the marine plastic pollution conversation and will provide a roadmap for how we can achieve such an ambitious goal. We encourage strong participation by our member groups as the campaign is centred around a "community owned" threat abatement plan.

QUEENSLAND ANNOUNCES CASH FOR CONTAINERS!

The Boomerang Alliance congratulates the QLD Government for deciding to introduce a Container Deposit Scheme by 2018. It follows the NSW decision a few months ago to implement its CDS in 2017, with both governments in discussion about harmonising their schemes. The decision is another big win for the environment, which will result in a major reduction in litter particularly plastic pollution entering the marine environment.
