Individuals
As an individual, we can do a lot to have a sustainable environment. However, humans are always ignorant on what’s happening to the surroundings. It is vital to have everyone to take action to make Australia a better place to live then making it worse. The small changes in our daily habits can result in a great positive change. Therefore, instead of being ignorant and showing apathy, let’s all get moving !
For example, we can find out from local councils when clean ups will take place in order for us to put our unwanted items for a collection instead of dumping them to landfills. On the other hand, instead of throwing out the unwanted items, we should try to recycle the items so they can be turned into something new or used by someone else.
Besides, we can spread our word to friends and family about illegal dumping and waste management to raise awareness.
