Launched 15 August, the Airlie Beach based ‘No butts on our Beach’ campaign is raising awareness about impacts of butts and litter on the marine environment.
Driven by local not-for-profit group Eco Barge Services, the campaign is rallying the community, in particular tourism operators and Council, to clean up local beaches, promote awareness of litter impacts, install butts bins and invest in prevention and marine debris clean-up projects.
They’re also making good use of Butt Free Australia resources including the ‘Not a Good Look’ website to promote the availability of personal ashtrays handy for use throughout the gateway to the beautiful Whitsunday Islands (QLD).
