Tasmania is getting a container refund scheme. Here’s how it will work
Nearly 50 years after South Australians were able to receive a partial refund for recycling bottles and cans, Tasmania is finally catching up. Key points: Tasmania’s container refund scheme is set to begin operating in the first half of 2023. Under the scheme, consumers will receive a 10-cent refund for every eligible container they recycle through a refund point. The location of refund points will be determined in coming months. Previously promised to be introduced in 2022, Tasmania’s container refund scheme is now set to come in during the first half of 2023. Drink containers are one of the most commonly littered items in Tasmania, with a survey conducted in 2018 finding they made up about 45 per cent of litter in the state, by volume. The state government hopes the incoming container refund scheme will reduce that. Tasmania’s scheme will look very similar to other states’ schemes, as the aim is for a nationally consistent approach.
Bonnie’s Rocket by Emeline Lee, illus. by Alina Chau | Lee & Low Books
Bonnie’s father is an engineer for the Apollo 11 space mission. Bonnie is an engineer too, developing a model rocket that she plans to shoot high into the sky. While Baba works on the moon-landing module far away, Bonnie designs, builds, and tests her own project — with sometimes disastrous results! Throughout the process, Baba’s letters encourage her in her work, and after the astronauts return from the moon, Baba comes home in time to see Bonnie launch her amazing rocket. Inspired by the experiences of the author’s grandfather, who helped design the space suits and life-support systems on the Apollo 11 lunar module, Bonnie’s Rocket celebrates the diverse team that contributed to one of the United States’s greatest achievements. It’s also a heartwarming father-daughter story and a terrific gift for budding engineers and space fans of all ages.
