Palm Beach Clean Up

We meet the last Sunday of every month at 10am on one of Sydney’s northern beaches. Do a good deed for the planet and make some new friends at the same time!

One easy thing you can do to help saving our environment is to clean up rubbish. Pick up plastic, Styrofoam and other items from your local beach or area. It take 1,000 years for plastic to degrade and one million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals are killed annually from plastic in our oceans. 44 percent of all seabird species, 22 percent of cetaceans, all sea turtle species and a growing list of fish species have been documented with plastic in or around their bodies.

Northern Beaches Clean Up Crew is run by volunteers and is a non-profit charity where no one gets paid.

Please say no to plastic: Say no to soy fish containers, plastic bags, plastic straws and plastic bottles as a start. Bring your own coffee cup to the café and if you have forgotten it, get the takeaway coffee with no lid or give yourself a break and sit down and have your coffee in a porcelain cup.

You can make a huge difference for this planet by changing some small every day habits. Thank you on behalf of the planet, oceans and the future of our children.
