23.01.2022 Cigarette butts are the most common littered item across Australia (and also on Earth), so do the right thing and bin your butts! Cigarette butts are small and often go unnoticed, but this tiny piece of waste has lasting effects on our environment. They’re mainly made of cellulose acetate - a man made plastic that can take up to 10 years to break down! Plus, the plastic contains tons of toxic chemicals that leak into the environment and threaten our wildlife. Also, carelessl...y tossing butts into nature poses a major bushfire risk. And, they’re a potential spreader of germs too - something we all want to avoid in a pandemic! Australia has done the right thing to stop the spread of COVID. Now it’s time for us to do the right thing and stop the spread of cigarette butts. #dotherightthingoz #sustainability #fightwaste #litterfighter #environment #ecofriendly #take3forthesea #green

21.01.2022 Plastic has become one of the biggest threats to our oceans' health. Millions of tons of plastic waste washes into the sea each year, where it breaks up into small pieces that kill our wildlife. So, if you see litter on the ground, please pick it up and dispose of it correctly. Rubbish in our streets, parks and communities will likely end up in the ocean after rain and wind.

19.01.2022 Coffee cups are just one of many single-use items that are adding to our planet's waste issue. Worse still, disposable plastics run the risk of ending up as litter where it can cause harm to our natural environment. We can all do our bit to reduce waste, starting with a little extra planning. Keep a reusable coffee cup in the car, at home and in the office. If you don't have one, can you spare 15 minutes to sit down and enjoy your cuppa in the cafe? We say yes! #litterfighter #tidyaussie #trashtalktuesday #tenlittlepieces #plasticfree #ecofriendly #take3forthesea #environment #recycle #sustainability #fightwaste #fightforourplanet

14.01.2022 This Valentine’s Day let’s break that toxic relationship we can’t seem to end... with plastic. Plastic pollution is a growing problem in the environment as it doesn’t break down - it breaks up. For example, a single plastic bag can break up into a million tiny pieces, causing micro-plastic particles that won’t decompose. In fact, plastic can last up to 500 years in our oceans, waterways and parks threatening the health of wildlife and even humans. ... So, let’s end this toxic cycle and leave plastic in the past! #KeepAustraliaBeautiful #microplastic #plastic #environment #sustainability #plasticfree #ecofriendly #recycle #fightwaste #litterfighter

13.01.2022 As technology continues to advance, waste continues to pile up. E-waste has become one of the fastest-growing waste on the planet, producing around 50 million tonnes each year. Improper disposal of electronics can leak toxic chemicals into our environment which causes pollution and imposes a huge threat to our ecosystem. The best way to limit our tech waste is to:... Reduce - Question before you buy: do you really need the latest iPhone? Maybe not. Reuse - If you really do, then sell or donate your old device so it won’t end up in landfill. Recycle - Many communities have e-waste recycling and drop-off depots that can properly handle these materials.

08.01.2022 Cigarette butts are one of the most common forms of plastic litter, but now we are noticing a new threat to our environment - vape waste. This type of waste can a huge environmental impact as most are single-use disposable vapes, which can leak toxic chemicals into the environment. A new study on Tobacco Product Waste found that 3.6 million adults use a vape daily, which would produce more than a billion pieces of plastic waste in one year. ... If thrown in the trash the e-liquid can seep into the ground and become a danger for wildlife and humans. The best solution is to dispose of this product as you would your tech waste.

07.01.2022 It's all about reducing food waste for this week's #TrashtalkTuesday With some simple steps, we can avoid adding food to landfill and save money in the process. Win/win! 1. Plan ahead by writing a list when you shop - you'll avoid buying things you don't need 2. Buy the imperfect fruit and veg, it might not look pretty but it tastes just as good 3. Look for food with less packaging, single-use snacks are an easy one to leave out ... 4. Store food in the right containers so it doesn't go off in the fridge or pantry 5. Compost! It's the best way to turn scraps into nutrient-rich fertiliser for your garden Thank you to everyone who helps to #KeepAustraliaBeautiful #litterfighter #tidyaussie #trashtalktuesday #tenlittlepieces #plasticfree #ecofriendly #take3forthesea #environment #recycle #sustainability #fightwaste

01.01.2022 Soft plastics are found everywhere you look in the supermarket. Shopping bags, produce bags, toilet paper packaging, cereal bags - you name it, you’ll find soft plastics. These types of plastics are a massive contributor to our landfill issue as they can’t be recycled in traditional kerbside bins. Those that do get put in recycling bins cause huge problems by getting caught in the recycling machinery. The good news is (and what you might not know!) that most supermarkets hav...e a drop off area to recycle these plastics properly. Just make sure your plastics are clean and dry.
