See Rubbish? Why not Picitup?
Whilst out doing his daily walk, Sam Halvorsen, a Sunshine Coast local, noticed some litter. He picked it up. But had nowhere to put it.
It was in that moment that an idea hatched in Sam’s mind. What if he were to put a bag in every walker’s hands? How much of the increasing litter problem on the Sunshine Coast could be solved by local
people picking up litter on their daily walk?
Sam set about making the idea happen. He wanted to mobilise the
community to take responsibility themselves. To create an
initiative that would really work in the fight to keep the Sunshine
Coast beautiful and to protect the marine life in our oceans from
the scourge of the plastic bag.
How can you get involved?
You can pick up a jute bag from UnderWater World front reception. All
you need to do is fill in a simple form and away you go. Your bag is
your badge. If you see another walker carrying a bag you know you’re in
good company.
The jute bag
The jute bag is environmentally friendly. These bags do come at a cost
(free to you) so please re-use them as much as possible.
