Nature Hates a Tosser campaign
Nature Hates A Tosser is the NSW Government’s litter prevention campaign built on a simple truth: small amounts of rubbish can have a big impact on wildlife and waterways. Bin it. Or bring it.
Where rubbish goes
Rubbish can travel thousands of kilometres, moving through local waterways and eventually into the ocean.
How long rubbish stays in the environment
Some rubbish starts to breakdown after a few years, and some will outlast you and several generations to come.
The impact of rubbish on animals, the environment and your health
When you leave rubbish behind it doesn’t disappear. It has dire consequences for animals, the environment and even your health.
What you can do to prevent litter
Big or small, you can make a difference to prevent litter. Here are easy things you can do every day to reduce litter in your life. Take the pledge to make it happen.
Report a Tosser
The Report a Tosser! program empowers many passionate members of the community that want to protect the environment. Report a Tosser allows the community to take the power in their hands to report littering from a vehicle.
