Australia Paving the Way

South Australia Bans Single Use Plastic.

The Aussies have been on the forefront of a movement and they have it right. They are truly ahead of the curve.

While many countries, states, and cities are aiming to eliminate plastic bags from use, South Australia is focusing their efforts on banning all major single use plastic items. This Australian law is historic and will greatly impact the health of wildlife and oceans.

Justin Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister, is gearing up to pass a similar law in 2021.

The world needs to pay attention to this momentum.

Our friends from GreenMatters stated that, “the South Australia State Parliament passed legislation banning the sale, supply, and distribution of single-use plastic products including forks, knives, spoons, straws, and coffee stirrers. Even though the ban was signed into law, it’s not expected to go into effect until 2021, with the coronavirus pandemic accounting for the delay.”

This is huge. It is simple, yet it is bold.

It’s the future.
