Clean Up The Creeks!

Hello, Fellow Creek Ploggers!!!

I was heartened to see this idea from Clean up Australia and thought we could enter a piece as a community.

Exercise is regarded as essential activity - did know the word "plogging" comes from jogging and “plocka upp” the Swedish word for "pick-up"? Have you tried it? Share your socially distanced Clean Up efforts by posting a pic on Facebook or Instagram and tagging it #StepUptoCleanUp. [An excerpt from their facebook].

The rain last week certainly left it's mark with rubbish littering our creeks, so over this Easter weekend please send a pic of any rubbish you collect (please send by Friday 17th). A photo of before and after could be nice or just a pic of the rubbish itself. I would like to compose a collage to send on to the facebook site from "Edgars and Merri Creek Ploggers".  

*Remember your gloves and a bag/bucket*.

Please send to heidi@compostingtoiletsystems.com.au

Thanks!!!

Hi all, there has been significant damage to plants and small trees at some of the low lying planting sites at Edgar creek. 

I untangled some trees and cleared lots of plastic today on my dog walk and saved a few trees and shrubs that were pinned down into the mud.

If you have time tomorrow, check on plants and trees on flatlands, untangle them and they should stand up again. 

If you can take a bag and collect plastic too I'm sure we could minimise the impact on ducks and creek dwellers too.
