“They are all coming out of venues in Australia and we all think it is being recycled,” Jimmy says in a community service ad for One Green Cup.

One Green Cup is a environmentally friendly drinking cup that you can take to a venue and have filled and refilled.

Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, Luna Park, the Annandale Hotel and Laneway Festival are the earlier supporters of the project.
