What's your big idea?

LipsVSLids. A campaign to change the take away coffee culture by using our lips instead of plastic lids.

2.5 billion coffee cups are use a day world wide. If we can just stop using the lid it would have a huge environmental impact until we figure out what to do with the rest of the cup. Www.lipsvslids.com. The idea is to get coffee shops to register and then to simply ask customers if they need a plastic lids. It may also help to let coffee shop put up some stands on the pavement so people can enjoy the first 5 sips stationary because ultimately it’s only about 3-5minutes of the first sip that causes spillage. For people on the go, needing to drive fine they may NEED the lid but then on one or two days they may not. Every little will help. It will also save coffee shops money. There is a reason for registering. For every lid not used it updates a database on my website which then can be used as a marketing tool/competition. Perhaps we could start with Manly or CREMORNE and update it regularly on Mosman living. It will serve as a feel good for the community and all it takes is a question. Lips or Lid for you today?

Make Mosman more pram and wheelchair accessible

STREET ART FOR MOSMAN

Over the past 2 years Mosman has had a chalk artist draw on the promendade at Balmoral. Why not make that into an art competition with an environmental theme....people pay to enter, they have allocated promenade square, winner gets a small prize, plus exposure, Mosman has free art. They do something similar in Italy, once a year they have art in flowers (literally) throughout the village....great tourist dest. and lots of flowers.

Support for EVs

There’s a growing number of electric vehicles in Mosman - more than share cars. There’s dedicated parking spots for share cars but no support for EVs. EVs reduce air and sound pollution and reduce greenhouse gases. Please: put EV chargers in Council car parks Add dedicated parking spots for EVs Demand all new developments include EV facilities Turn all Council vehicles to EVs

improve Mosman Library Book Club meetings

My idea is quite simple. It will add to some people’s quality of life. I belong to Mosman Library Book Club. We meet at Mosman library at 7pm in 3rd week of the month. We are all aged 60+ How nice would be to sip a Chardonnay with bikkies & cheese while discussing a book and socialising with friends. Would not hurt or disturb anyone. Obviously we would clean up afterwards. We are not a rowdy bunch 😀
