Well, come along to Ipswich's Party of the Year and Swap 'til you Drop! 9.00am to 12 noon. National Recycling Week is an annual, Australia-wide event and this year runs from Monday 9 November to Sunday 15 November. Hosted by Planet Ark over 14 years, National Recycling Week aims to encourage people to consider the impact of the disposal of their possessions and to reduce waste to landfill. It also aims to improve the positive environmental outcomes of recycling, including increased tonnage and reduced contamination. To celebrate National Recycling Week 2009, Planet Ark is inviting every Council in Australia to participate in the Big Aussie Swap by hosting a public Swap Party. Swap Parties encourage people to reuse items, which in turn reduces the demand for new items. By swapping rather than buying a cotton dress, for example, a resident will save around 22,000 litres of water! http://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/about_ipswich/events/?eventid=1651 http://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/about_ipswich/events/?eventid=1651 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:21:00 +1000 Design and build your dream cubby in this exciting interactive art activity for children and families.

EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and is sent back to space to report her findings to the mother ship - to advise that it is safe to return home.
