Welcome to the Ninety Percent Project! Why ninety percent, you ask? Ninety percent is the percentage by which we hope to reduce plastic bag usage in New South Wales, Australia; ninety percent is the minimum percentage by which we want to make the environment cleaner; ninety percent less plastic bags means ninety percent cleaner. And we want this by 2013.
So maybe we're a little ambitious but if Ireland could do it (94% in three years since a levy was introduced in March 2002), we're pretty sure that, with your help, we can definitely help achieve this goal.
This blog will keep track of our progress of making this a reality. Hope you enjoy it!
Cheers!

Plastic. Not Fantastic.
90% Less Means 90% Cleaner
Who We Are
We are an environmentally-conscious, non-profit group advocating the introduction of a plastic bag levy in NSW supermarkets. Our aim is to reduce plastic bag usage by 90% in NSW within five years and thus promote a cleaner and healthier environment with more environmentally-aware citizens.
