Mindarie Regional Council and the Quinns Rocks Environmental Group (QREG) will provide information about reducing use of disposable, single-use plastics at the free workshop next Thursday, June 19.
‘Disposable plastic wastes resources and impacts on our environment, particularly in the oceans and waterways,’ QREG spokesman David Wake said.
‘We can reduce our use of disposable plastics at home in many ways, such as how we purchase our goods we use at home and how we participate in the ‘throw-away society’.
