Litter levels pollute New Zealand's ecosystem

From Lately, 10:30 pm on 5 September 2019

An audit into litter across New Zealand estimates there are more than 10 billion cigarette butts strewn across New Zealand.

Environmental group Keep New Zealand Beautiful has released this year's National Litter Audit, and it estimates about 3.6 billion pieces of plastic as well as 394 million litres of nappies contribute to our rubbish problem.

Karyn speaks with CEO of Keep New Zealand Beautiful Heather Saunderson about the results of the litter audit and what can be done to turn things around.
