The Toronto Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group has multiple projects on the boil at
- The entrance to Toronto is being given a facelift adjacent to Hymix on Awaba Rd. Lomandras have been planted and a big autumn planting is scheduled for Wednesday 15 May at 9am. All are welcome to the community planting.
- The Pamper Care Project is supporting locals in need with food and personal care items. Toronto High School was assisted with 10 scientific calculators and Lake Mac High with kits for girls.
- A successful Trip to the Tip saw the new mulch processing plant in full swing and impressed all in attendance.
- The Urban Forest concept is being explored to highlight the need for appreciation and awareness of the dollar value of trees in urban environments. Melbourne City Council has a tree value calculator.
- The Litter campaign has some great news with Kmart, Target, Reject Shop and Chemist Warehouse to drop free single use plastic bags.
- Locally, signs have been created for shops that have switched from plastics and these will be handed out soon.
- Maccas are being slow to drop plastic straws and 2 Toronto pub /clubs have made the switch.
