Live Plastic Free Warrnambool Photo Competition 2011

Photographers are invited to submit images of the “Live Plastic Free” bamboo shopping bags at a unique location. Entries will be judged on the uniqueness of the location, relevance to the campaign and artistic merit.

The bamboo shopping bags are available at the Warrnambool City Council enquiries desk. The shopping bags cost $2.50 each. Proceeds from the purchase of these bags go towards supplying free bags to Health Care and Pension Card Holders.

The prize for monthly winners is 2 movie tickets and the overall winner receives a dinner for two at “Pippies by the Bay” on Flagstaff Hill, Warrnambool. The images will be featured on Flickr and the monthly winner entries on the Warrnambool City Councils website.

Why Live Plastic Free?
Single use plastic bags and plastic bottles have a huge impact on our environment, particularly in Warrnambool where we live on two rivers and the coast. An abundance of resources go into making plastic bags and plastic bottles which are simply thrown away.

Be part of an Australian first campaign to reduce the usage of single use plastic bottles and plastic bags in Warrnambool. Titled “Live Plastic Free,” the campaign relies on your support.

During 2011 businesses and community will be asked to take part in the “Live Plastic Free” campaign. Businesses will be encouraged to refuse giving away free single use plastic bags, either by offering an alternative more environmentally friendly bag or placing a levy on plastic bags. Community will be asked to stop using plastic bags and where possible reduce the consumption of water from plastic bottles.

Other initiatives such as installation of more water fountains, lobbying politicians for a container levy and avoid! reduce! reuse! recycle! plastic bag incentives, and awareness raising initiatives will be conducted throughout the campaign.

Only through a combined community effort can we reduce the impacts of single use plastic bottles and plastic bags on Warrnambool’s environment.
