cash for containers

Yesterday I attend an event to help spread the message about Cash for Containers. It was great to help out Surfrider Foundation, Boomerang Alliance and local scout groups. So what is Cash For Containers? Cash for Containers is like a reverse vending machine where you put in plastic bottles, cans and glass bottles to be recycled and you get ten cents back for each one. But this is only in South Austraila, Northern Territory and Tasmania. 

There are huge campaigns to get Cash for Containers in Queensland. We need it here in Queensland because:

1. Queensland is Australia's most littered state
2. Not one Australian beach is litter free
3. Snakes and lizards can get their heads stuck in littered cans
4. Littered water bottles pollute the environment
5. Making a new can from a recycled uses 95% less engery than making a new can from scratch
6. Increase recycling
7. More people will pick up rubbish and dispose of rubbish thoughtfully

You can help Cash for Containers come to Queensland by:​

1. Sign the petition to help bring it to Queensland
2. Send letters to the Queensland Goverment
3. Spread the message
