Thank you to the team of around 12 volunteers who joined me on Clean Up Australia Day to help pick up litter at Shelly Park Cronulla, including Councillor Carol Provan (deputy mayor) and Kal Glanznig (co-founder Plastic Free Cronulla).
We estimated around 300 pieces of litter. By number cigarette butts were the worst offenders, but sadly there were plenty of other more voluminous pieces.
There were very few beverage containers (a sign that the container deposit scheme works) and no plastic bags or straws (a sign that legislated bans are working), but quite a few bottle tops, broken glass and strange items like parts of hub caps and windscreen wipers.
Wonderful to hear from over 120 community members at our Shadow Cabinet reception at Penrith Panthers this week. The cost of living crisis was a top concern.
Plenty of pink on display for Pink Up Penrith month for the McGrath Foundation ! ... See MoreSee Less
