Reid calls for mindful use of plastics
Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid is encouraging local residents "to be mindful of their plastic use during July and help reduce its impact on our sensitive environment".
He said Plastic-Free July was a global campaign to raise awareness about plastic pollution.
"I am passionate about reducing my plastic use," Dr Reid said.
"Simple steps can be taken to reduce our plastic footprint, such as choosing to bring your own re-useable bags to the shopping centre or bringing a re-useable coffee cup to your local cafe instead of using a plastic cup.
"Every effort to reduce plastic means less waste ending up in our waste management sites or natural environment", Dr Reid said.
