Ocean plastic pollution, waste and the recycling “crisis” are hot topics. Cleaning up plastic waste and improving recycling systems are important but “turning off the tap” to reduce the problem at the source is critical. Plastic Free July is a global movement sharing ideas and solutions to help millions of people to be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities.
From a humble office initiative in Perth to one of the world’s most widespread environmental movements the Plastic Free July has inspired 120 million participants in 170 countries. Hear the story behind this award winning behaviour change campaign and learn how you can be part of the solution.

UWA's Oceans Institute, Office of Research, and Development and Alumni Relations invite you to hear four leading UWA marine scientists discuss how their work is making a difference.
The iconic Western Australian marine parks, Ningaloo and Shark Bay, as well as the Great Southern Reef, are bio-diversity hotspots whose future is tightly linked to the planet's. Their survival is both dependent upon slowing climate change and – through their potential to capture, store and release carbon – critical in the fight against it.
