Gather the troops during our Serve the City Global Volunteer Day! Serve the City Australia has collaborated with Clean Up Australia to organise a local clean of your area. We’ll head to our local parks and streets and pick up all the rubbish we can find!
Why?
Australia has a plastics problem. Australia now produces 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, equating to 100 kg per person. Of this, only 13% of plastic is recovered and 84% is sent to landfill. More concerningly, around 130,000 tonnes of the plastic we consume leaks into the marine environment each year. Joining our clean up is a great way to make a difference for our environment and doing it together with others makes it lots of fun. Who knows, you might even make a friend or two!
Do I need to bring anything?
You’ll receive a cleaning kit on the day so no need to bring anything (wear a hat and sunscreen). Oh hang on, perhaps some kids as they are seriously good at spotting AND cleaning up the environment!
You don’t need any experience to help out with this project. Just a few hours of your time and a bit of energy!
