What is Keep Australia Beautiful Week?
Keep Australia Beautiful Week is held late August each year to raise awareness about the simple things we as a community can all do in our daily lives to reduce our impact on the environment and encourage action.
This year we will be focusing on
#ContainYourWaste
How to participate
Keep Australia Beautiful Week 20230 will focus on the three main ways we can reduce and recycle some of the goods we’re using more of these days:
-
How to protect you and your loved ones without the cost to our planet
-
How to keep good hygiene practices that don’t cost the Earth
-
How to reduce and recycle the single-use consumables from takeaway food and drinks
