Keep Australia Beautiful Week is the 22th to the 28thof August and it is a time to raise awareness about the simple things we can all do to reduce our impact on the environment and encourage action to reduce litter.
Have you ever thrown an apple core from your car window onto a roadside with the thought, ‘It will decompose’ or, ‘the birds will eat it’? In fact, organic litter can take months to breakdown in the environment and as well as attracting animals to the dangerous roadside, ingesting decomposing rubbish can be harmful to pets and wildlife. Litter degradability depends on a range of factors including climate and conditions. For example glass bottles take one to two million years to breakdown and an orange peel can take up to two years!
Join Conservation Volunteers as we clean up special environmental spots around Perth. Locations will be confirmed shortly.
