In her role as a Keep Australia Beautiful Week (KAB Week) Ambassador Sharni Vinson is helping raise awareness of the simple things people can do in their daily lives to help reduce their impact on the environment. Keep Australia Beautiful Week runs from Monday 27 August - Sunday 2 September.

Quote from Sharni

"Working everyday in the outdoors really brings home just how important it is to preserve our environment for the future. Keep Australia Beautiful Week is the perfect time to start making changes in your daily lives to help reduce your impact on the environment. Whether it be reusing or recycling as much as you can to help cut down on the amount of rubbish you produce, reducing your energy and water consumption, or walking more instead of taking the car it will all make a difference.
