 In the coastal town of Clearbay, young Lily noticed the beach littered with single-use plastics. Concerned, she asked her grandfather why it was so. He explained how harmful these plastics were to the ocean. Determined to make a change, Lily rallied her friends and launched a "Say No to Single-Use Plastic" campaign. They promoted reusable bags and bottles, and soon the town transformed. Shops switched to paper straws, and the beach became pristine again. Clearbay proudly displayed a sign: "Welcome to Clearbay—Plastic-Free and Proud!" Lily's small effort had made a big impact, showing the power of saying no to single-use plastic.

 In oceans deep, where corals sway,  Single-use plastic finds its way.  From bags to bottles, it pervades,  Harming creatures, blocking shades. Say no to plastic, take a stand,  Protect the seas, the fragile land.  Reusable choices, let them reign,  For a cleaner Earth, we must sustain. Reduce, reuse, recycle the key,  A planet saved for you and me.  So let's unite, in every fight,  And bid single-use plastic goodnight.

 Some slogans to promote the reduction of single-use plastics: "Refuse the Plastic, Embrace the Planet" "Choose Reusables, Save Our Seas" "Ditch Disposables, Go Sustainable" "Plastic Free is the Way to Be" "Reuse Today, Save Tomorrow" "Sustainability Starts with Us" "Break Up with Single-Use Plastics" "Be a Part of the Solution, Not the Pollution" "Small Changes, Big Impact" "Plastic Free, Worry Free"
