Petition to Ban Disposable Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 marine animals every year. Learn more... A meeting of the Environment Protection and Heritage Council held in April 2008, failed to reach a national agreement for Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea on banning single use plastic carrier bags. The Federal and State Environment Ministers involved had already made a commitment to phase out plastic bags by the end of the year, but opinions differed at the gathering on how to achieve a consistent policy.

We, the undersigned call on the Environment Protection and Heritage Council to end the indecision and agree to a comprehensive measure to eliminate single use plastic carrier bags without imposing additional burdens on Australian and New Zealand families, who are already feeling the pressure of price increases in cost of living.
