The Mini Vinnies co-curricular group is currently collecting plastic bottle tops to be passed on to the Envision Group, to make prosthetic hands and other aids for children with disabilities. Envision has a target to meet 2,000,000 bottle tops.
“Next to plastic bags, plastic bottle tops are one of the top polluters of the oceans and environment. They create microbeads which enter the food chain and pollute our beaches. With this project, we now aim to collect, with the help of Rotary and Lions, 2,000,000 bottle tops to recycle them into, mobility aids, Disability Aids, STEM training tools, and Aged Care gadgets.” (Envision website)
If you can help, please drop off your bottle tops to the box in Mrs Hansen’s office.
