On this episode of Citizen Science Show, Pip Kiernan talks about how Clean Up Australia, a grass roots organization, has been tracking the trend of rubbish for over thirty years and publishing a comprehensive data analysis in the annual rubbish report. The data reveals how plastic continues to grow as the largest waste problem year after year. The annual rubbish report has become an important tool for helping to guide government policies and to keep businesses informed about the impacts of single use plastics on our environment.

Pip explains how you can get involved in cleaning up your local community and why your contribution as a citizen scientist really matters.
