Canopy

Canopy works with the forest industry’s biggest customers and their suppliers to develop business solutions that protect these last frontier forests.

If we don't stop the source of plastic pollution by refusing, reducing, reusing and recycling plastic products and embracing truly compostable and biodegradable alternatives, then all we would do is clean up and we won't be able to keep up!

We must actively stop plastic litter from reaching our oceans by cleaning up our local coastal areas (beaches, dunes, headlands), our bush, sporting grounds, parks and waterways (rivers, bays and creeks).

SO SHIRE co-ordinates large community clean up events above and below H2O (land based and water based) throughout the year, including Clean Up Australia Day in March and Plastic Free July.
