Some of you may be interested in signing the online petition at https://t.co/4f3YGyBdAc from the Friends of the Earth Melbourne re #cashforcontainers and other #waronwaste strategies.
The level of threat plastic waste poses to man and nature is phenomenal. In a country like Nigeria where unemployment is very high, professionals examine the threats and how plastic waste can create huge job opportunities along the recycling value chain.

This morning we were at the #SpringSt delivering thousands of petition postcards to @DanielAndrewsMP calling on him to stop any offshore oil and gas off Victoria's pristine coastline. It's not too late to add your voice>> https://t.co/Dq90xCNmmu
"It also stated that over a four-year period between 2014 and 2017, a waste and litter program collected 179 tonnes of litter, including 1.29 million cigarette butts from the river and its mouth at Port Phillip Bay."

Melbourne has a new street trading vendor, but instead of selling trendy food stuffs it provides refills for cleaning products! Would you like to see a refill station for cleaning products in your area?

We're happy to see that @LilyDAmbrosioMP is taking steps towards creating on-shore recycling- but we are still faced with the problem of where these valuable materials will be sold on to.
We'd love to see a more comprehensive plan Dan @DanielAndrewsMP#transformwaste

Great to open Repurpose It’s Australian-first washing plant in Epping today. The facility will divert over 500,000 tonnes of construction & demolition waste from landfill each year. We invested $500,000 in this important project from our Resource Recovery Infrastructure Fund.
#CashforContainersVic would avoid all these litter to end up in the Yarra! #TransformWaste#Spring St. // In four years, 179 tonnes of garbage was pulled out of the Yarra https://t.co/WYWOkJa1ko via @ABCNews
The single-use plastics ban at @VicMarket will come into effect at the start of May, so remember to bring your shopping bags! 🌏♻️ https://t.co/36yZ47bOEq
I'm at the Parliament in Melbourne today, asking the Victorian State Government to turn the recycling crisis into the opportunity to create resilient waste management systems
#recycling2parliament#springst#waronwasteau#transformwaste
We took our #recycling2parliament#springst this morning to tell the @DanielAndrewsMP govt to fix our #waste crisis, introduce a container deposit scheme, ban single-use plastics & support an onshore recycling industry. No more recycling to landfill!
Time to #TransformWaste in Victoria. It's not good enough that our waste gets dumped in landfill because we can't cart it off overseas. Time for local solutions to our waste problems. Where's the plan @DanielAndrewsMP ? #recycling2parliament
Protesters have dumped rubbish on the steps of Parliament, demanding the state government take action on Victoria's recycling crisis. @hannah_jenkins#7News
