Plastic Free Communities gives a volunteer community leader a five-step plan: form a steering group, get the council on board, sign up businesses as Plastic Free Champions (each removes at least three single-use items), run events and hold a public celebration. Businesses use the free toolkit to earn the Champion award.
Run by Surfers Against Sewage (UK charity 1145877). Honest caveat: it is UK-based; Australians can borrow the model through Plastic Free Places.
