We all know a stretch of road, a beach, a park, a parking area in a beautiful place. A beautiful place littered with waste.

Cans, bottles, coffee cups, cigarette butts, plastic waste, bandaids, condoms, takeaway containers, nappies and other paraphernalia festoon this environment.

Litter is unsightly and poses a danger. It is toxic to your health and ruins your experience. Bigger items of litter are noticeable and we know about plastic and glass damage but did you know cigarette butts are the number one item of road, park and car park litter?

Cigarette butts are dangerous to seabirds, sea turtles, mammals and some fish. They ingest the cigarette remains and their toxins. The butts swell in the stomach of animals causing them to feel full. They stop eating and eventually starve to death.

Because of all the litter dumping we are doing eventually everything suffers. Landfills and garbage dumps are filling up. The World Economic Forum reports,that by 2050 there will be so much plastic floating in the world oceans that plastic will outweigh the fish.

So....there are no "ifs and buts" about it. The Planet's future, Your future depends on You.

You are the Solution.

Why are we littering ? What can an ordinary person do? Is it easier to do nothing?

This website is to support you to do your part.

Damage to our planet will become irreversible if we keep making the same mistakes.

The Manly Food Co-operative's "Ocean Wave" billboard is framed by 1,580 kilograms of plastic to demonstrate the amount of plastic going into the world's oceans every hour.
