In case you were wondering why we in North East Victoria, so far from oceans, need to be just as vigilant as coastal residents about litter, check out this article (published in 'The Chronicle') about the Bright community's actions after finding platypus deeply affected by our litter in our creeks and rivers.  Good on you Bright for taking action.  Let's all help ensure the litter doesn't get there in the first place.

A great local resource which schools can access.  Read more about it here.

The theme of this full day workshop will be Sustainability in the Curriculum - and it is FREE.

The aim of this activity is to, through a relay and good discussion: Learn how to sort our waste better, become more aware of what to do with items which were once called waste and to look at complete alternatives to many items which can be kept out of landfills.

The aim of this unit is to: Develop a good understanding of the issues of plastic pollution, Understand how even inland communities such as those in North East Victoria contribute to this issue, Seek strategies to prevent plastic pollution and encourage thinking about responsibilities and the future of all things that make up the environment in which we live.
