Ocean lovers festival launches with call for action on plastic

Volvo Ocean Lovers Festival

Volvo Ocean Lovers Festival launched yesterday with a strong desire for action from the government, business and the community to tackle the significant problem of plastic in our ocean.

Allegra Spender MP took to the stage to call out past government and industry inaction on single use and ocean bound plastics, saying legislation was required to drive action. Numerous voices from the stage and audience echoed the frustration with Australia’s escalating plastic problem at the day long Ocean Plastic Action Forum at Bondi Beach.
