Description Led by future school captain Lemon, the students of Sunlake Downs High School’s Recycling club hold a cake stall so they can save up for one of those cool machines that turns cans and bottles into money. Visited by local politician Greg Moresby who posts about their cake stall on instagram, the club soon discover they’ve been used as a political greenwashing tactic to distract from Moresby approving a new coal mine on the site of their favourite hang-out spot; The Dunes, and the club are dragged into a whirlwind of social media, political mud-slinging, and other people’s opinions.
