SERRG/Bournda EEC Partnership –Waste Education

Are EECs in interested in fostering the relationship with other waste groups?

Geoff Pryor and Doug Reckord

Never throw away a good idea!

Let’s go to “Wasteland”

And in the distance, “No-waste land”

Where people – refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle!

This was just one of the activities at a recent Sustainability Expo

• Held in Queanbeyan and organised by QCC staff with assistance from Bournda EEC

Just one of many activities that are planned as part of the
