HILLS artist Emma Jennings has used her latest piece of artwork to highlight the impact litter has on the surrounding environment, while also encouraging residents and tourists to keep the region litter-free.
Ms Jennings unveiled the artwork on Friday 22 July at the front of the Honey Thai restaurant in Belgrave, with some help from Yarrra Ranges councillor Mike Clarke, and
Belgrave Traders, together with council’s Communities for Platypus project, helped to launch the piece.
The say litter in local streams and waterways threaten native animals and platypus, as well as marine life, as the rubbish flows downstream into Port Phillip Bay.
