MRANA gratefully accepted the Small Planet Energy’s prize of $300.00 donated by Mosaic Forest Products. Maybe next year, with more volunteers, we could expand to our other areas! Thank you to our great volunteers for once again ”Cleaning the Mac”.
“ Clean the Mac”
Sunday, April 27, 2025
A clean-up/social event, 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
In support of Earth Day MRANA is organized a clean-up event along Macaulay Road. Volunteers picked up plastic, bottles, and other rubbish left or thrown from vehicles into our ditches*. This year we removed 375 lbs or 170 kgs of trash from the road and ditches.
* The average number of vehicles using Macaulay Road is 2,200 per day, counted by MoTI in June 2022.
** 2024 was our first year to Clean the Mac. A surprising amount of trash was picked up; the dumped weight came to 260kg or 573 lbs . Twenty MRANA members and friends picked up trash from our roadside ditches and it was taken to the landfill.
