Clean Up Queensland

Queenslander!

Bottles are fast becoming a major litter problem, with a Clean Up Australia survey finding plastic beverage and other containers account for about half of the top 10 litter items.The recovery rates in South Australia for beverage containers are close to 90 percent. The rest of the country it is 38 per cent. South Australia has a container deposit scheme. Queensland doesn't. Founder of Clean Up Australia Day, Ian Kiernan wants to change this.

The QLD government rejects the idea.

We should be the smart state.

For the life of me I can not work out why the government rejects this idea. Hypocritical to blabber on about Climate Change and then fail to put practical measures- is it not?
