More recycling bins in common areas
My grandchildren were surprised to see a picture of an apple core on the Landfill bins at the beach. Why not have compost bins for food waste, and recycling bins for the ubiquitous takeaway coffee cups. Council could promote this at the monthly markets and even offer reusable coffee cups and get the numerous coffee shops in Mosman to participate.

STREET ART FOR MOSMAN
Over the past 2 years Mosman has had a chalk artist draw on the promendade at Balmoral. Why not make that into an art competition with an environmental theme....people pay to enter, they have allocated promenade square, winner gets a small prize, plus exposure, Mosman has free art. They do something similar in Italy, once a year they have art in flowers (literally) throughout the village....great tourist dest. and lots of flowers.

LipsVSLids. A campaign to change the take away coffee culture by using our lips instead of plastic lids.
2.5 billion coffee cups are use a day world wide. If we can just stop using the lid it would have a huge environmental impact until we figure out what to do with the rest of the cup. Www.lipsvslids.com. The idea is to get coffee shops to register and then to simply ask customers if they need a plastic lids. It may also help to let coffee shop put up some stands on the pavement so people can enjoy the first 5 sips stationary because ultimately it’s only about 3-5minutes of the first sip that causes spillage. For people on the go, needing to drive fine they may NEED the lid but then on one or two days they may not. Every little will help. It will also save coffee shops money. There is a reason for registering. For every lid not used it updates a database on my website which then can be used as a marketing tool/competition. Perhaps we could start with Manly or CREMORNE and update it regularly on Mosman living. It will serve as a feel good for the community and all it takes is a question. Lips or Lid for you today?

Dog Poo Bags
Further the dog poo 'bag it' campaign and ensure all collectors tie their bags before tossing in passing residents' bins. The result is often squashed and smeared dog poo on the sides of bins after collection. This must stop.
