Hornsby locals are encouraged to return their bottles and cans and donate the 10 cents to those doing it tough in the bush.
Member for Hornsby and Minister for for Environment Matt Kean says, “All Return and Earn vending machines will now allow you to donate the proceeds from your bottle and can collection to Rural Aid, directly helping those suffering in the drought.”
Mr PETER SIDGREAVES (Camden) (14:54): My question is directed to the Minister for Energy and Environment. How is the New South Wales Government delivering on its plan for the environment?
Mr JAMIE PARKER (Balmain) (15:11): My question is directed to the Minister for Energy and Environment. Considering the United Nations' recent report on biodiversity warns that as many as a million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction and the New South Wales Government's own State of the Environment report shows almost 1,000 native plant, animal and ecological communities are threatened with extinction in New South Wales, what action will the new Minister take to avert this biodiversity crisis?
THANKS, RETURN AND EARN

"Return and Earn is a great initiative for the community. The concept has been realiy picked up by the locals with lots of community groups using it as a fundraiser as well as kids collecting bottles and cans to raise some extra pocket money." said Michael.
