Clean up Port Melbourne: Just 1 piece of litter makes a difference

Clean Up Australia Day is on Sunday 7 March. This year's focus is our bays and waterways.

There are two sites registered in Port Melbourne at the moment: Lagoon Pier and Sandridge Beach. The Sandridge site is a public site you are welcome to join. This pictures shows the result of the efforts at Sandridge in 2009.

There is still time to register another site in Port Melbourne. Registering is easy and Clean Up Australia give you all the assistance you need.

Today I heard the inspirational Ian Kiernan talk about the experiences that led him to set up Clean Up Australia and the astonishing initiatives that have arisen from it.

He encouraged the business community to embrace the innovation opportunities our environmental crisis is creating.
