Queensland marine biologist and anti-plastic straw campaigner Nicole Nash said she is proud to have been made ‘redundant’ after the state government banned all single-use plastic.
Nash started the ‘Last Straw’ campaign back in 2016 and by 2019, Nash had over half a million plastic straws stored in a bedroom of her house.
Over 5 years, Nash has prevented more than 20 million plastic straws from entering the ocean by consulting with Queensland businesses and collecting plastic straws from businesses that had phased them out.
