🙄 “Recycling doesn’t matter, it doesn’t make an impact” is this a line you find yourself or others muttering? 🚮 Pip Kiernan from Clean Up Australia says “if we get it right at the kerbside bin and put the right things in and keep unrecyclable items out, they do get recycled”. ♻️ The 'Recycle Mate' app allows you to scan any item using your phone camera and advises you what to do with it, based on where you are located. 🎯 The 'Greenius' website tool tells you what can go in the recycling bin depending on where you live, and offers games and activities to make recycling fun for kids. 🤓 Read the full The Guardian article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eU_QZ8d7 #TheGuardian #cleanupaustralia #getitright #recyclemate #greenius #victorianschools
