On the Central Coast of NSW in Australia, a natural partnership has grown between an organization called Take 3 for the Sea, that has been spreading awareness about plastic pollution in our oceans since 2009, and the region’s tourism management organization, Destination Central Coast (DCC).

These organizations encourage visitors to protect the environment by taking at least three pieces of discarded litter home with them when they visit the area’s abundance of natural areas. The simple idea has spread throughout the community, state, country and the world, facilitated by a passionate community of environmental stewards living in this coastal region of Australia.

DCC supports Take 3 with their GroundSwell Litter Lab that teaches tourism businesses in New South Wales how to reduce litter in their operations and popular tourist spots. This free program gives businesses the tools needed to lead litter prevention, be better environmental stewards and act in alignment with the Central Coast’s ECO Destination commitment.

Doing away with just one Plastic at a time will surely help reduce the amount of pollution brought about by Plastics .
