Hi everyone, Zeke here with the update of Green Paws as of July 2021. It's great to see that we have a bunch of people entering in to Green Paws, we have recycled so far this year 10,164 items. This is a staggering amount that has blown last years total year out of the water. So far Scott is in the lead with over 5,000 items recycled.

What does this mean? Well, it means that we have recycled approximately 145Kg of items. All this goes back into beverage bottles and cans, aluminium wrapping, toys, roads, car parts and much more - but more importantly not into landfill.

If you would like to donate some 10c recyclables all you need to do is wash out the 10c bottle or can, place them in a bag, and I can pick them up if you like or you take them to a recycling centre. Once you have received the cash, you can either EFT it into our bank account or bring it to a QPAH hosted event and give the cash and receipt to the Treasurer. Your name will then go on the website, along with the amount you have donated thus far.

What's in it for yourself you ask? Well for every 500 items you get a free entry to a mosh ie, target hit 500, 1000, 1500. When you hit 2000 items you will gain a free entry to the Pupmas event that QPAH holds at the end of the year.

I would love to see us hit 20,000 items recycles by Pupmas as a collective. At Pupmas, I will present our best collector of the year with a little reward. Last year we saw our President at the time Pup Skout take the award, who also issued the challenge that if someone could beat 3,000 items he would also donate $300 to the club - this challenge appears to have caught on this year.

The money raised goes towards events and overheads to keep the club running and has previously helped out a lot during the COVID times that we are going through.

I really look forward to seeing how this year pans out for us all and how close to the 20k item recycled target we hit. If you would like more information you can visit our Green Paws page or get in contact with me either on our website or find me on Facebook.

At the time of publishing here is the leaderboard:

Scott: 5,428

Pup Oxford: 2,736

Deefa: 877

Parker: 726

Pup Tek: 227

Raven: 170

I would like to thank everyone who has donated since I started this back on the 1st Jan 2020. It's great to see everyone helping out!

Regards

Michael Williams
