CLEAN UP AUSTRALI
A DAY
? p u p e t s u o y l il w w o H
By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THAT’S the question Clean Up Australia Day organisers are asking Aussies everywhere – including Dubbo – for three key dates in March. Tuesday, March 2 is Business Clean Up Day, Friday, March 5 is Schools/
Youth Clean Up Day and Sunday, March 7 is the big one, Clean Up Australia Day. The Dubbo RiverCare Group will be out in force joining in the annual day this year. From 8am at the Church Street boat ramp on Sunday 7, they’ll be
launching a kayak clean up team while another group will be conducting a land clean up at Devil’s Hole. Schools, youth, community groups, and businesses are encouraged to all play their part on their dedicated days and aim for change that means nothing that is used ends
up in landfill or is blown on the wind into our rivers in particular. This year’s focus is on plastic packaging which is toxic and making its way into our food chain to the extent that we eat it! Find out more on the Clean Up Australia website.
