Take Part in the CVA SeaToSource Plastic Waste Challenge!
This Plastic Free July you and your family can help reduce plastic in the ocean! The CVA SeaToSource Plastic Waste Challenge invites every Australian household to play a part in protecting our ocean. Download the CVA app to conduct your home plastic audit and find a range of events near you.
Each year, around 13 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean, most of which is carried to the sea by rivers. Plastic pollution impacts the health of marine species and ecosystems, food safety, human health, tourism, fisheries, aquaculture, and other industries. It’s estimated that there are about 50-75 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean, which forms giant plastic patches in the ocean, sinks to the ocean floor, and washes up along the coast.
In Australia alone, we consume 3.8 million tonnes of plastic annually, a figure three times the global average. That means we need to work especially hard at tackling plastic pollution and find solutions.
Be part of the plastic waste solution by helping to reduce plastic consumption and clean up beaches and coastlines. Check out this kid-friendly video to explain how the SeaToSource Plastic Waste Challenge works!
