Tegan’s latest environmental activity – Beach Clean Up (Bribie Style).
Never one to do something in a boring way, Tegan and the volunteers will all be wearing bright Hawaiian Shirts – sure to get everyone’s attention and have a bit of fun at the same time!
We’ve been buying heaps of Hawaiian Shirts, brightly coloured Rubbish Bins, Pick-up Sticks, Signs etc to get this Beach Clean Up happening. With all those costs, we’re very grateful to receive a grant from Sea World Research and Rescue Foundation Inc and Healthy Waterways. These guys are awesome!
Also it is not just getting the rubbish off the beaches and out of the waterways, but there is some scientific research going on in the background – everything has to be sorted, counted and weighed and where possible, identify the source of the marine debris.
To launch the new program, Tegan organised her local Minister of Parliament, Lisa France MP and the Environmental Minister, Andrew Powell MP. Check out this awesome interview by Andrew McCarthy-Wood of bridgetobribieisland.com.
