War on Waste
Bonus: The War on Waste live debate
The first series got us thinking about recycling and where our rubbish ends up, but has the #WarOnWaste helped Australians reduce, recycle and reuse? Or, is it a load of rubbish? Those are the questions Craig Reucassel put to a group of ABC Radio Melbourne presenters in the first War on Waste live debate. Team Affirmative; Richelle Hunt, Hilary Harper and Anthony "Lehmo" Lehman, go head to head with Team Negative; Jon Faine, Jacinta Parsons and Sami Shah.
