Queensland Litter Prevention Alliance updates
The Queensland Litter Prevention Alliance has added some pertinent Litter Facts which are guaranteed to enlighten people about the abundance of waste which is spoiling our planet.
There’s a table listing the times it takes for various waste substances to break down - for example, disposable nappies take 500 years to break down, whereas polystyrene cups NEVER break down.

New York State has enacted a stop lawn litter law that imposes large fines on advertisers that throw unsolicited fliers on your lawn and in your yard.
We expect the law will stop tons of litter from reaching the dumps. Take a look at www.stoplawnlitter.org for details.
Might be a good idea to contact them for information on how to propose similar odinances in your city.
