Bill Takes the Plunge

Complete with all […]
Pantone Colour of the Year 2017
The Pantone colour of the year 2017 is Greenery 15-0343. Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade symbolic of new beginnings.

Clever anti-littering poster design
We recently stumbled across these great poster ads online for The City of Toronto Livegreen’s organisation. With the tag line ‘Littering says a lot about you,’ they raise awareness whilst simultaneously insulting those that decide to litter the streets. We love them! You can view all the poster designs here.
What happens to your recycled stuff?
To help further Spectrum’s understanding on what happens to our sorted rubbish when it leaves the office, Bill headed off to an ACTSmart hosted tour of Canberra’s Materials Recovery Facility in Hume.
