Clean up Seymour on March 6

“Our habits changed during COVID-19 and most of these haven’t been kind on the environment,” Clean Up Australia chairman Pip Kiernan said.

She said the resurgence of single-use plastics during the COVID-19 pandemic had a major effect on the environment.

“Surges in online shopping, meal delivery services and the use of disposable face masks and coffee cups mean the environment is feeling the after-effects of the pandemic in ways not seen before,” she said.

“There’s no better time than right now to show that you care.”
