Take Action

CONTACT YOUR ENVIRONMENT MINISTER

During 2009 environment ministers will be working on a National Waste Policy and making decisions on the future of the National Packaging Convenant; container deposits; and recycling of key products like electronic waste and tyres.

Make sure they know you want Australia to stop dumping resources into waste dumps and to take action to protect the environment by comprehensive recovery and recycling schemes involving all producers - no free riders!
