SydDT #83: Plastic Free July with Jo Taranto

Please join us for some thought provoking conversation with interesting people keen on design thinking. Using design thinking to contribute to a positive impact on people, our planet, and business has always been core to what SydDT is all about.

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. The small changes we collectively take make a massive difference and that's what the challenge is. Get involved!
