This week, Greenpeace members are mobilising across NSW and Victoria to ask our leaders to #BantheBag.

“Most of the other states and territories are already banning single use plastic bags and even Coles and Woolworths have announced they will phase them out over the next 12 months." Says Greenpeace plastic bag campaigner Samantha Wockner.

Victoria is willing to consider the ban. Now only NSW is holding Australia back.

“Every year in Australia, tens of millions of plastic bags make their way into our waterways and eventually end inside marine life and our food."
