This year’s Keep Australia Beautiful Week runs 22 to 28 August. An official launch event on Monday, 22 August at Taronga Zoo in Sydney kicks off the week’s programs.
The 2011 events will focus on the impacts litter can have on Australia’s waterways and oceans. The waste can affect numerous animals, like through the ingestion of plastics or by wildlife getting caught in debris. Wild Mob focuses on this important issue as part of our Brampton Island and Kings Run conservation projects.

The week was created by Keep Australia Beautiful as an annual reminder to Australians about the day-to-day actions they can take to reduce their waste and encourage environmental stewardship. Learn more about Keep Australia Beautiful Week on their website.
