Waste Not. Want Not.

From the source to the sea, the Birrarung is subject to the travesties of human waste, plastics, polystyrene, and animal and agricultural waste. How do we change behaviour and policy to eliminate pollution from entering our beloved Birrarung? 

Meet with four teams of RMIT Masters of Communication Design students to discuss their proposed campaigns to improve stormwater awareness and change behaviour to reduce litter and contamination entering the Birrarung. 

Drop in any time from 11am to 2pm to chat with the students about their campaigns. Your feedback, ideas & suggestions will be warmly welcomed as we seek to make the Yarra, Birrarung River healthy, protected and loved.

This event is hosted by the RMIT University Master of Communication Design.

Getting there: The Greenline Hub is located just near Federation Square at Princes Walk and Koorie Heritage Trust.
