The Shepparton/Mooroopna Urban Landcare Group and the City of
Greater Shepparton have combined to make this community clean-up day possible.
A free barbecue lunch will follow the clean-up at the
Shepparton Weir just off the Boulevard/Rudd Rd near the Shepparton cemetery.
Those keen to help at the Shepparton clean-up should meet at
10:00am at the dirt road (50 metres south of the cemetery entrance) that leads
to weir for the two-hour rubbish collection. The free lunch will follow.
People can register online or contact Jean Young at the city
council on 0439 988 726.
The Sunday, March 6, clean-up at the weir is a part of the
national Clean-Up Australia Day event.
(Such annual events –
cleaning up the country are a product of our national obsession with
consumption of stuff and then simply throwing it away, which has an immediate
obvious impact, and that is a seemingly endless amount of rubbish, and our
frivolous use of energy and resources that is eating into the Earth’s capital
and disturbing the Earth’s climate system; manifesting itself as climate change
– Robert McLean.)
