Wecycle and other Darebin recipients
WeCycle was awarded best Community Project for City of Darebin - joint winners with Save our Citrus at the City of Darebin and Banyule 2016 Sustainability Awards.
Community project - Recognises the efforts and actions of people who deliver a project in the community which enhances or protects the natural environment, helps people live more sustainability or increases the sustainability of local communities.
Craig and I believe bicycles are an affordable and sustainable means of transport that helps address community concerns about pollution, our reliance on fossil fuels and traffic congestion.
Bicycles are also a fantastic way to keep fit and healthy. Riding a bicycle is fun and an accessible way to connect with your community through a shared experience.
Recycling discarded and unwanted bicycles is also a great way to reduce landfill and demonstrate that repairing and re-using is a sustainable approach to everyday life that will save you money and reduce the environmental impact our rampant consumerism has on the planet.
