Council to encourage plastic-free initiatives, promoting the campaign and supporting events.
A representative of the council must be named on the Plastic Free Community steering group.
Local councils are in a unique position to lead change on single-use plastics.
A local councillor proposes a motion to support Plastic Free Communities in your area. Once this motion is voted on and approved by your local council this objective is complete.

And finally they work as a political body, often with cross-party members; showing unity on an action can install confidence and determination to succeed.
