Cancer Council WA and Berlin call on communities to ‘Un-junk’ their neighbourhoods

Cancer Council WA, supported by a coalition of WA’s peak health and medical organisations, has launched a new community movement, Un-junk, created in partnership with Berlin, to empower West Aussies to push back against the growing influence of unhealthy food and advocate for healthier communities.

“Unhealthy food has become increasingly difficult to avoid, with fast food outlets near schools, junk food advertising in public spaces, unhealthy sponsorship in community sport, and supermarket promotions encouraging unhealthy purchases,” Dr Mossenson said.

“Children are growing up surrounded by constant marketing and easy access to unhealthy food, normalising its consumption as part of an everyday diet.

“Un-junk is about giving communities the tools to have their voices heard and push for healthier food environments.”
