Trash Hero Adelaide begins following conversations on how to address global plastic pollution. Hence a volunteer activity that starts in our own backyard.

BEST Collaborators - beach goers keen to learn about Trash Hero.
WORST Offenders - cigarette butts, takeaway cups, bottle tops.

Next week at Glenelg Beach Wed 23 Jan 10am. Join us!
