计划与愿望

昆士兰情侣莱昂妮·斯塔尔和马修·波特自去年11月以来,每天坚持捡2000多个垃圾瓶罐,用于筹集婚礼资金。他们预计在今年年底收集八十万个废弃瓶子,然后在2020年3月正式结婚。
A young Queensland woman is aiming to pay for her dream wedding by collecting and recycling more than 800,000 plastic bottles and cans. Leonie Starr, who lives on the Sunshine Coast, had been quoted $81,000 for her dream wedding in Vanuatu to her fiancé, Matthew Porter. Mr Porter, 28, proposed to Ms Starr, also 28, on March 14, while the pair were on a cruise in Vanuatu.
The couple, who have been together nearly two years, were told the $81,000 quote includes accommodation for 35 guests for six nights, all meals and the wedding itself. And Ms Starr believes she has found a way to pay for it without breaking the bank.
Queensland’s state government introduced a container refund scheme on November 1. It gives residents the chance to collect and recycle in exchange for 10 cents for each bottle or can recycled at one of more than 230 container refund points in Queensland. Drink containers are said to be the second most littered item in the state with close to three billion used each year, but one person’s trash could be Ms Starr’s treasure.
Ms Starr has always recycled, but it is said that she has ramped it up in preparation for her wedding. “When I tell people about it, the first thing that they do is to laugh and then they realize I’m serious,” she said. The 28-year-old said people from work and her neighbourhood had helped her but she needed to be collecting 2,200 bottles a day to reach her goal.
