Week 8 – Recycling
This week, 10-16 November, is National Recycling Week in Australia. Since November 1996, Planet Ark has been running this event and in Australia, we sure need to be reminded to recycle.
OECD figures show Australia to be one of the world’s biggest per capita producers of waste – at an alarming rate of 2.25 kilograms per person per day.
Check out the information about recycling here. It includes videos to watch and fact sheets.
