Eve Zimmermann, 11, was dismayed to see rubbish such as plastic bags polluting the banks of Dandenong Creek.
But she felt good to be working towards a solution to litter.
“I think it’s important because when we’re older, if our waterways are all clogged up, and we don’t have clean water and stuff, it will affect our future,” she said.
The State Government has funded Litter Trackers with $310,000 over two years and it’s being run by scientists in RMIT’s Aquatic Environmental Stress research group and by Melbourne Water.
Project leader Kavitha Chinathamby, an RMIT aquatic scientist, hopes the program shows participants the extent of the litter problem in an engaging way, so they are encouraged to find solutions.
