21.01.2022 Everyone can do this wherever they are in Victoria. Just follow Covid-19 regulations for your area.

20.01.2022 Come out and Clean Your Patch this Spring

19.01.2022 Victoria’s container deposit scheme. Two options. One is designed to minimise impacts on nature. The other is designed to minimise impact on some big companies that have contributed to the problem for decades. Let your Member of Parliament know which option you’d prefer. @martinfoleymp @danielandrewsmp

13.01.2022 Luke talking to Channel 9 news about VIctoria's container deposit scheme today.

13.01.2022 A positive development to deal with one of the more prolific sources of micro-plastics, synthetic tyres. https://www.theguardian.com//device-to-curb-microplastic-e

13.01.2022 Of course we'd love not to have to pick up litter, especially the single use plastic variety. Doubtless many of you are taking steps to avoid or reduce single ...use plastics. Here's just one small step you can take to reduce plastic wrap. These little bags can be washed and used thousands of times. Great to use for school lunches and on hikes. You can buy them or make them yourselves. When fruit is in season and cheap, consider drying some fruit for healthy delicious snacks that pack easily in this lightweight bag, a great replacement for snacks that come pre-wrapped in plastic. We find so many snack wrappers on our beach and street cleans throughout the year. Every piece of litter removed from the system makes a difference. This is what we call source reduction. #refuse #reduce #repurpose #reuse

12.01.2022 Before today's rain, is there something in front of your place that you can pick up? Save the ocean from plastic, wherever you are.

10.01.2022 The Victorian Government has just released discussions on the Container Deposit Scheme. You can access a short video, two survey links and the discussion paper via Engage Victoria, at www.engage.vic.gov.au/container-deposit-scheme Please go on line ad fill these surveys out. We don't want the big bottling companies to take over running the scheme saying they will manage it when they want to sabotage it for their profits. It has to be independently managed.

10.01.2022 Two years ago and again last year, 300+ volunteers from Beach Patrol and Love Our Street groups cleaned litter from the whole of Melbourne's CBD. Whilst our gro...up activities are suspended due to COVID-19, individuals continue to clean their neighbourhoods. If people just made sure there was no litter in front of their homes, workplaces or schools we could protect our own environment and wildlife. See more

08.01.2022 I beg of you.....every one.....BREAK THE LOOPS!!

06.01.2022 An opportunity to learn from a champion.

05.01.2022 Tomorrow, Sat 19 September, is World Clean Up Day. While our groups cannot meet, individuals can help our environment by collecting litter. Please do so safe...ly, using tongs and gloves, disposing of litter in public bins. Of course, hand hygiene and masks are needed, too. If you pick up a bagful or simply follow the call to Take 3 for the Sea, we can have a litter-free neighbourhood and we will be protecting our much-loved local wildlife. If you log your collection on the Litter Stopper app, you can do this afterwards at home: Begin without timer, select our group, enter key info and select no auditing. If you pop your name in the notes section and say hi, that would be the icing on the cake! See more

02.01.2022 Before the rain, before it gets dark, please see if there's litter in front of your place that you can prevent washing down drains and into the sea.
