Bella, a Year 5 student from North Cottesloe Primary School, came up with a brilliant idea as part of the Doing More With Less Project. She designed a see through bin - so people can see their rubbish and not be tempted to put items in the wrong bin. 'We checked out a few bins at Cottesloe and found that people put things in the wrong bin. We found an apple core in the battery bin and paper coffee cups in the plastic bag recycle bin'. Bella's innovative idea will be created and showcased at the Doing More With Less Sustainability Roadshows in Geelong, Mandurah and Rockingham.
