Plastic-Free YYC

Plastic Free YYC was a local organisation, operating and serving in the Treaty 7 Territory, created to bring awareness about plastic pollution in our environment. The organisation closed in 2024 and is now a resource blog. We are a grassroots non-profit seeking to promote the adoption of a plastic-free lifestyle by all Calgarians in order reduce the overall impact of plastic on our community and our planet. Vision: We envision Calgary to be first major prairie city to be plastic-free. Mission: Providing local and global information to live a plastic free lifestyle, as well as show through education how plastic affects all organisms and ourselves. The plastic-free movement tends to be more prominent in coastal regions therefore this organisation aims to bring awareness to all “land-locked” citizens.
