Speaking of vending machines, here’s something that’s new to Australian shopping centres … the Envirobank. It’s a vending machine that gobbles up all your recyclables and, in return, spits out prizes or in-centre retailer vouchers. Each machine can hold in its belly up to 3000 bottles and cans, and each item is scanned and recorded to provide an accurate carbon audit, based on the material collected.
While regular recycling bins are just as fab, the Envirobank helps by crushing cans and features an LCD screen that offers other helpful tips on how to “go green”. We only have one machine so far, but I hope they spread. Anything that promotes recycling is a very good thing.
Love to all.
