Aaaand... we're very excited to be taking part too along these epic people! Thanks for the invite, Plastic Free July Aotearoa!!
Liam will be running a demo of how to make his very famous pea flour crackers (after 3 years of The Rubbish Trip, we're still unsure if we're most well known for talking about waste reduction, or for promulgating this pea flour cracker recipe...).
Hannah will be doing what she does best, which is not making pea flour crackers, but embarking on a semi-structured rant at the end of the event. (she'll try and keep her face further from the microphone this time, to avoid the "Hannah's talking really loudly" comments in the Zoom chat box).

Join the call to ban throwaway plastic bottles
Imagine a New Zealand where plastic bottles don’t litter the land and ocean, threatening the lives of our precious sea creatures. A New Zealand where we reuse our drink containers instead.Timeline PhotosWe've been asked a few times if Plastic Free July is still happening in 2020 and the answer is YES! Though it won't be exactly the 10th anniversary challenge we were originally planning, the plastic waste problem isn't going away. Of course human health is paramount and we believe we can do this and still take steps to care for the planet and make a difference. We've been a little quiet on social media as we've been busy getting ready to share lots of ideas and stories as this year we focus on what we can do in the home. We hope you can join us and together work towards a world without plastic waste.
Get your Keep Cups / pottery cups / any brand reusable cup / mug from home / hipster jam jars back out. Cafés have been given the green light to serve in reusables during Level 3 (and beyond)!
Hot tips:
☕️ Order your takeaway online, on an app or over phone. Let the outlet know you’ll BYO cup/container or would like your order in a reusable.
☕️ BYO CLEAN reusables only & hold onto your lids.
☕️ Stay outside & remember social distancing when waiting to collect your order (stay 2m away from others at all times).
☕️ Be patient & kind. Hospo is having to adapt very quickly to operate under Alert Level 3 requirements. Making new workflows operate smoothly takes time.
