Organised by Friends of the Earth, I will be speaking on water catchments and local communities, while Senator Scott Ludlam will talk about the history of the successful WA consumer campaign Buy-pass Bunnings.
We will be joined by speakers talking about sustainable paper alternatives, logging in the Strzezleckis and the day will start with a welcome to country by Robbie Thorpe.
The majority of trees logged in Melbourne's water catchments are chipped and end up at the Maryvale mill where they are made into Reflex Paper and other single-use paper products.
It is time to see our water catchments and high conservation value forests protected from woodchipping, and a switch to an Australian wholly-recycled and plantation-based paper industry.
