Merici College Green Tip #31 - A better toothbrush? On special this week.....

Submitted by mericiadmin on October 12, 2021 - 12:28pm

​Australia has a population of over 23 million people.

If every citizen uses only one toothbrush each year - a conservative estimate - Australia’s 23 million toothbrushes would amount to about 350 tonnes of landfill waste annually. On a global scale, the world population of well over 7 billion people will generate over 100,000 tonnes of toothbrush waste if every individual were to use only one toothbrush each year.

The Year 8 students have been learning about this issue, which is so important it deserves to have the awareness raised as far and wide as possible....

Have you ever thought about what happens to your old clothes after you drop them off at the op shop?

Now is the time, because these goodwill gestures are fueling an environmental catastrophe on the other side of the world.
