about

The Plastic Wrap

Why is everything wrapped in plastic?
Do you stop and think or is it just a habit?

Due to the profligate use of fossil fuels the Earth is warming at an alarming rate, destabilising the climate and devastating every ecosystem. All of us must urgently attempt to counteract these negative impacts by changing our habits and pressing for political and systemic change, to ensure healthy air, healthy earth and a healthy future.

Plastic waste is one of the biggest culprits. Treated as a disposable material, it pollutes our lands and seas and generates large amounts of toxic Co2 emissions, which can take between 20 - 1000 years to break down. That's while they smuggle their way across every part of Earth, from our rivers to Antarctica, from the diets of marine life - to our bodies.

So make the effort - don’t use it, don’t buy it, cause “every little package does a little damage.” Get involved on social media using the hashtag #movetozero, and be vocal in your protest at the lack of political action on pressing environmental issues.

Move to Zero is a project of Australian Dance Party supported by the Actsmart Community Zero Emissions Grant Program.

lyrics

Why is everything wrapped in plastic?
Do you stop and think or is it just a habit?
Bananas have a peel, they don’t need a package,
And every little bag does a little damage,

Like all the plastic blown to the ocean,
Breaking down slow while the landfill is smoking
Pouring out gas til the weather systems broken,
We need to act fast cause animals are choking,

How about a change that’s good for the planet
A little less plastic, a little more planning,
Bring your own bags, minimise the waste,
Use no plastic, leave no trace

Don’t wrap it again,
And make a change
Let’s wake up
