​
Plastic Free July is a global movement - join in and see how much you can reduce single-use plastic waste everyday at home, work, school and even at your local cafe.

Check out the ideas and resources on www.plasticfreejuly.org and share your successes on Mahurangi Wastebusters fb page.

And for the first time ever there's going to be a New Zealand wide launch party!  It’s a chance to connect up with other people around the country who are taking part in the challenge, learn some new tips and tricks to go plastic free and meet Rebecca Prince Ruis the founder of Plastic Free July. Rebecca started the challenge 10 years ago in Perth Australia with 30 friends taking part. Last year in New Zealand over 250,000 people took part in the challenge.
The virtual launch party will be held on Wednesday 24th June from 7pm- 8.30pm using Zoom. We will also be having an awesome line up of NZ presenters
  • Hannah and Liam from The Rubbish Trip
  • Kate from Waste Free with Kate
  • Te Kawa  and Ngaronoa from Para Kore
  • Nic from Mainstream Green 
  • Anthea from  Remix Plastic 
  • Juliet from The Great Eco Journey 
  • Coralie from Practically Green 
There will be demonstrations on how to make your own crackers and lip balm + virtual house tours, spot prizes and the chance to connect with hundreds of other people around the country who will also be taking part in the challenge.
