Cut Plastic Pollution With Compostable Packaging

Target: Ms. Tanya Plibersek, Minister for the Environment in Australia

Goal: Advocate for the promotion of compostable packaging as a means to reduce waste and pollution.

The excessive use of non-biodegradable packaging materials, such as plastic and styrofoam, is causing a significant environmental problem worldwide. These materials are not only non-biodegradable, but they also take centuries to decompose, and in the process pollute the soil, water, and air, and harm wildlife.

The solution to this problem is to promote the use of compostable packaging materials. Compostable packaging is made of materials that can biodegrade, such as plant-based materials like cornstarch and sugar cane. They can break down into natural elements, such as carbon dioxide, water, and organic matter, in a short time, without harming the environment.

The benefits of compostable packaging are undeniable. It reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, helps to reduce pollution, and promotes sustainable living. It is essential to promote the use of compostable packaging, not only for the benefit of the environment but also for future generations.

We urge Ms. Sussan Ley, Minister for the Environment, to advocate for the promotion of compostable packaging in Australia. We request that she takes swift and decisive action to encourage businesses and consumers to adopt compostable packaging materials as a means to reduce waste and pollution.

Through the promotion of compostable packaging, we can help to protect the environment and reduce pollution, which will ultimately benefit all Australians. Act now to build a sustainable and eco-friendly future for generations to come.
