Hey, did you hear about the new plan to ban single‑use plastics in our coastal towns? I’m itching to see how we can turn that policy into a real wave of change.

I saw the announcement, and it’s a good step. The data from the last five years shows a 30% drop in beach litter in towns that already phased out single‑use plastics, so the numbers back the policy. The real challenge will be monitoring compliance—maybe a small volunteer network could track usage in the busiest spots. If we can publish a monthly report of the changes, the policy will feel less like a rule and more like a community effort. It’ll take time, but the tide can shift.

Sounds like a solid start, but remember a plan is only as good as its execution—let’s fire up those volunteers, keep the eyes on the streets, and show the authorities that we’re not just talking, we’re doing. The tide shifts when people rise together.

That’s the spirit. I’ll start by drafting a clear brief for volunteers—what to look for, how to record data, and how to report it. If we keep the information simple and accessible, people are more likely to stay engaged. Once we have a steady stream of observations, we can share the results with the council in a concise report. Small, consistent actions add up, and the evidence will convince them that this isn’t just talk. Let’s get the first wave rolling.

That’s the kind of hustle we need—let’s get the volunteers rolling and hit the council with real numbers. Every hand on deck makes the wave stronger. Let's roll!
