We want 10c Deposits on drink bottles, can & cartons in Victoria!
Join the community rally to turn rubbish into community money and tell
the Victorian government it would:
. be self-funded
. increase recycling rates from 49% to 83%
. save local councils over $15.2 million
. reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 350,000 tonnes per year
. save enough water to supply over 12,500 homes
. create 300-400 new jobs
. provide new recycling services and industries where they are
currently missing
Hear from guest speakers about how we can create jobs in recycling and
why Victoria is critical in achieving a national scheme. Also, be there
for the hand over of thousands of postcards to the government, showing
the huge support for drink container deposits in Victoria.
