Benefits of being
involved include:
Queenslanders have for far too long been frustrated by litter in public spaces, damaging the environment and detracting from the amenity and utility of our community spaces.
-
Enhancing and preserving the natural environment.
-
Making our roads and public spaces safer and more attractive.
-
Working as a team. Reconnecting with neighbours and the community. Encouraging reduced littering behaviour.
Clean
Adopt-a-Spot is a safe, enjoyable and educational litter clean-up and landscape rehabilitation program that gives local communities the opportunity to contribute towards a healthier and cleaner local environment.
Projects
For suitably qualified and experienced groups, the scope of Adopt-a-Spot may be extended by agreement to include planting and maintaining landscape projects. We now have a number of 'community garden' projects that are not only reconnecting neighbours, but also educating locals on home-grown healthier lifestyles.
Sustainable
Litter on our roadways and in our public spaces washes into stormwater drains entering local creeks, rivers and waterways, where it is lethal to marine and wildlife. By removing litter, groups are sending a clear message to the community that littering is an unacceptable behaviour.
