Delivered by qualified and trained staff, the LGLI is based on the KAB National Litter Index (NLI) with a range of new benefits and features. The KAB NLI was developed in 2005 as a common means of measuring litter trends across Australia both by number of items and by volume. The data has traditionally only been reported back to State Governments and audit site details have never been revealed to protect the integrity of the state reports. KAB has now re-designed the NLI specifically for LGAs and the new features will provide them with detailed litter data, brand data and audit site clean-ups to enable them to make more informed decisions in their communities. Contact KAB for more information and to register your interest for the LGLI. kabnsw.org.au • 0402 111 252 • [email protected] • 3 EDUCATION & PROGRAMS ENVIROMENTORS EnviroMentors® is NSW’s leading incursion-based environmental education service.
