GUEST SPEAKER NIGHT WITH BOB EDGAR ON THE CONTAINER DEPOSIT SCHEME

“Earn & Return”

Has this initiative reduced marine pollution of urban mangroves and remote beaches of NSW? Does the analysis of 2 years of data collected by scientists, government agencies and local communities have a positive environmental story to tell re. reducing beverage containers in the marine environment? Bob’s presentation will address these questions with an overview of the outcomes from the Container Deposit Scheme study on a state wide basis and a focus on what was learned at Coffs Harbour.
