We were last week awarded the Blue Mountains Binfluencer Award for our Problems that Matter – Katoomba Cafes Send Plastic Packing. This project is still a work in progress, and it was great to get some recognition for it. We have secured funding from NSW government with the support of Penny Sharpe and Trish Doyle, as well as from local businesses including Bendigo Bank, to convert cafes in Katoomba Street to a juggler milk system that significantly reduces the amount of plastic waste.
