UQ Sustainability invites UQ students and staff to help us clear rubbish and participate in bush care activities along the river bank.

It's been shown that collecting plastic waste near coasts, rather than in the oceans, is the most effective way to reduce plastic pollution, so come along and lend a hand.

Bring a water bottle and gloves (we’ll provide these for anyone who can’t bring them). Closed shoes and sun protection are essential.

About Plastic Free July

Plastic Free July is a global movement that has inspired millions of people and businesses in more than 190 countries to reduce their single-use plastic for a month - and well beyond.

The movement builds on the idea that if everyone makes small changes, collectively we will make a massive difference to our communities.

Find out more about how you can reduce your plastic use around UQ and further afield.
