So what would you do if you discovered 25% of rubbish going to landfill could be recycled? This is just what Jamie and his team discovered. They just couldn't believe the figure. They asked questions and they didn't like the answers they got. Jamie was really upset. "This is really bad. I cant believe it," he said. Jamie and his team wanted to find out why the figure was so high. They want to meet with the local Mayor and the Minister for Environment to find out how they can improve this result. So Jamie here goes. I have met with a local City of Mandurah Councillor and told him your story. His name is Rhys Williams. Actually, he has been involved with Millennium Kids for a long time so he knows what kids can do and is really keen to meet with you and hear your ideas. Let me know when your next meeting is so we can set up an opportunity for your team to tell meet him so you can share your ideas.
Jamie, what a great opportunity to make a difference! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteJamie - Rhys is waiting for your email and today I was telling Paul Sharp about your idea. Paul started a group called Two Hands Project. It is on facebook and has 22,000 followers. He really liked your idea.
ReplyDeleteThe 25% is used as a guide to educate people. The 25% is made up of items that dont belong in the recycle bin in the first place, or recyclable items that have been contaminated by things such as food. We need to focus on making sure people know what they can and cant put in the recycle bin. This does change depending on where you live and where your recyclables are sent.
