Yes We Can!

You’re probably wondering why on earth surfing champion and Planet Ark ambassador, Layne Beachley, is standing inside a recycling bin. Well, Planet Ark are currently running a competition to encourage us to recycle aluminum cans when we’re out and about at parks, beaches (get it – beaches?) and other public spaces. The humble tin can can be recycled an infinite number of times and, according to RMIT, recycling just six cans will offset your 25km train trip, 17km bus ride or 10km car ride! To enter simply take a picture of the recycling bin you use at home, school or work before the end of the month. There are plenty of prizes up for grabs, including an iPad 2. Good luck!
