Seabins for The Shire - Save our Waterways from plastic waste

The issue

Greater Sydney’s waterways are currently under threat from plastic waste and pollution. It is estimated that by 2050, the amount of plastic waste will outweigh fish in the ocean.

 

Waste in the Mangroves along Taren Point Boardwalk

 

My name is Jenson Wade and I am 8 years old. I love swimming in the ocean and waterskiing on the Port Hacking River. I am committed to keeping our waterways clean for everyone to enjoy. With the help of my friends and community I have already removed almost 500kgs of rubbish from our local waterways but there is still so much more to do and we need your help.

After seeing a movie about the fight against climate change, I set myself the goal to get the first Seabin in the Sutherland Shire. Seabins float in the ocean, collecting and filtering rubbish out right down to tiny little micro plastics. for more information on Seabins - click on this link https://seabinfoundation.org/

I have started this petition to show that the community supports my goal to get a Seabin in the Shire and to lobby Sutherland Shire Council and State Government to expand the Seabin program beyond Sydney Harbour. Please sign below to show your support and help me to keep our waterways beautiful.
