Shellharbour & Kiama Interagency December Attendees and Apologies
After lunch we reviewed our achievements for 2012 and through some small group work came up with ideas of 2013
Our 2013 Interagency Wish List
Each group wrote their top four ideas on a balloon and all twelve balloons were released to take our wishes skyward. For those concerned about environmental damage please see below.
Are latex balloons biodegradable?
Latex is a 100-percent natural substance that breaks down both in sunlight and water. The degradation process begins almost immediately. Oxidation, the “frosting” that makes latex balloons look as if they are losing their color, is one of the first signs of the process. Exposure to sunlight quickens the process, but natural microorganisms attack natural rubber even in the dark.Research shows that under similar environmental conditions, latex balloons will biodegrade at about the same rate as a leaf from an oak tree. The actual total degradation time will vary depending on the precise conditions. http://www.balloonhq.com/BalloonCouncil/faq.html
Photos from the meeting are also posted on our Blog site so please have a look and post your comments. Photos
Here are the dates for 2013, 2013 Interagency Dates, make sure to put them in your diary today 🙂
Wishing you a very relaxing and healthy break over the Christmas holiday period and looking forward to seeing you all in 2013.
