There's been no shortage of activities and webinars this week as Planet Ark commemorates its 25th National Recycling Week around the theme ‘Celebrate National Recycling Week YOUR way’.
Several webinars held over the last few days have done the theme proud, while a unique, not-to-be-missed recycling comedy show is scheduled for 11 November.
Join Rachel Rayner, aka performer Rayner Explainer, as she takes a look at the lighter side of plastic, unravels our plastic obsession and explores the future of plastic in the show 'All wrapped up'.
In this webinar by Planet Ark, Rayner, who previously worked at CSIRO as communications advisor – Space & Astronomy, will feature the fantastics of plastics through humour and science, uncover the complex world of plastic recycling and reduction, highlight the lifestyles of the rich and recyclable, and hone in on our poly-based needs and desires.
