ABOUT BLUE
BLUE [https://bluethefilm.org/] is the story our generation need to
hear. The industrialisation that has occurred in the oceans over the
last century mirrors the events that triggered mass extinctions on
land. Industrial scale fishing, habitat destruction, species loss and
pollution have placed the ocean in peril. The very nature of the sea
is being irretrievably altered. BLUE [https://bluethefilm.org/] is a
provocative journey into the ocean realm, witnessing this critical
moment in time when the marine world is on a precipice.
Our ocean has been the guardian of life on earth. Now it is our turn
to be guardians for the ocean.
ABOUT TIM SILVERWOOD AND TAKE 3 FOR THE SEA
Tim Silverwood is a passionate advocate for protecting our oceans and
environment from human impacts. A keen surfer, Tim became alarmed at
the increasing risks plastic pollution posed to our oceans and
wildlife, co-founding the not-for-profit organisation ‘Take 3’ in
2009.
Take 3 are committed to reducing plastic pollution and promoting the
transition to a circular economy through education and participation.
Their message is simple: _Take 3 pieces of rubbish with you when you
leave the beach, waterway… or anywhere special, and you’ve made a
difference._
ABOUT RANDWICK COUNCIL'S SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAN
Single use plastics such as plastic bags, drink bottles and drinking
straws were banned from all Randwick City Council operations and
events from 1 July 2018. The decision from the Council Meeting in
June 2018 is inline with a worldwide movement to decrease plastic
usage to reduce plastics pollution and micro-plastics entering the
food stream.
In addition to banning single-use plastics as part of Council
operations, organisers of Council-supported events, festivals and
major activities would also be required from 1 January 2019 to not use
single-use plastics. Exemptions would apply for emergency situations
where single-use bottled water may be required because of excessive
temperatures. Randwick Council will also develop a waste education
program to assist and encourage local businesses and community groups
to reduce single use plastics.
