This year was special for Clean Australia Day and provided a great opportunity to get out and help clean neighbourhoods.
I participated at Glenwood and Kellyville sites. This is one example of taking direct action for your neighbourhoods.
Hundreds of thousands of volunteers around the nation today helped celebrate Clean Up Australia Day’s 20th anniversary year, donning gloves to clean up Australia’s major rubbish hotspot areas and clear the most frequently dropped items, including cigarette butts and recyclables such as glass, plastic and paper.
It has been estimated that a staggering 15,560 tonnes of rubbish has been removed from beaches, waterways, parks and bushland across Australia. Approximately 588,000 volunteers across the country are taking part in the day at 7073 registered sites, which marks an increase of 6% from 2009.
Welcome! This site introduces Healthier Neighbourhoods project and aims to provide news, information and resources to enable actions to reduce carbon footprint in our communities. While the project is based in North-west Sydney in the Hills Council area, the principles of local action and collaboration can benefit all communities. Enjoy your visit to this site. If you are inspired to take action in your local neighbourhood community, please email me at inderjeet.virdi@gmail.com.
